Abstract

Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) is the causative agent of cold sores, keratitis, meningitis, and encephalitis. HSV-1-encoded ICP5, the major capsid protein, is essential for capsid assembly during viral replication. Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification that plays a critical role in the regulation of cellular events such as proteasomal degradation, protein trafficking, and the antiviral response and viral events such as the establishment of infection and viral replication. Ub-activating enzyme (E1, also named UBE1) is involved in the first step in the ubiquitination. However, it is still unknown whether UBE1 contributes to viral infection or the cellular antiviral response. Here, we found that UBE1a suppressed HSV-1 replication and contributed to the antiviral response. The UBE1a inhibitor PYR-41 increased HSV-1 production. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that UBE1a highly expressing cells presented low ICP5 expression, and vice versa. UBE1a inhibition by PYR-41 and shRNA increased ICP5 expression in HSV-1-infected cells. UBE1a reduced and retarded ICP5 protein expression, without affecting transcription of ICP5 mRNA or degradation of ICP5 protein. Additionally, UBE1a interacted with ICP27, and both partially co-localized at the Hsc70 foci/virus-induced chaperone-enriched (VICE) domains. PYR-41 reduced the co-localization of UBE1a and ICP27. Thus, our findings provide insights into the mechanism of UBE1a in the cellular response to viral infection.
