A novel host factor for human respiratory syncytial virus

Abstract: Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading viral cause of severe lower respiratory disease in young children worldwide. As part of a genome-wide siRNA screen, we recently discovered that actin-related protein 2 (ARP2) is a host factor in the RSV replication cycle. ARP2 is a major constituent of the ARP2/3 complex, which catalyzes actin polymerization involved in cell morphology and motility. In the course of investigating this finding, we also found that RSV infection of human lung epithelial A459 … Show more

“…Together, these observations suggest that long filopodia specifically contribute to cell-cell HIV spread, whereas lamellipodia are less important for this process. This is consistent with findings from other enveloped viruses where filopodia have been associated with the ability to mediate cell-cell viral transfer [103][104][105][106][107]. Indeed, we have previously observed HIV-Filopodia to mediate hundreds of contacts per hour between relevant primary HIV target cells, with filopodial activity often preceding VS formation [18].…”

“…Notably, we also observed non-classical RNA-binding proteins such as ANXA1 or ACTR2 among highly-connected proteins in this network. ACTR2 has been identified as a host factor for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and is involved in cytoskeleton reorganization and filipodia formation, which is thought to promote virus spreading 74,75 . This observation is consistent with recent work that demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 infection induced a dramatic increase in filopodia, and viral particles localized to and emerged from these protrusions 9 .…”

“…Actin-related protein 2, identified as a proviral host factor involved in virus egress and dissemination in a similar screen using the tissue-culture adapted HRSV A2 strain (12, 39), did not reach significance in our screen. However, cofilin 1, which associates with the viral matrix (M) protein in HRSV particles and may modulate particle assembly and release (40, 41), was among the top hits.…”
