Epigenetic factor siRNA screen during primary KSHV infection identifies novel host restriction factors for the lytic cycle of KSHV

Abstract: Establishment of viral latency is not only essential for lifelong Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection, but it is also a prerequisite of viral tumorigenesis. The latent viral DNA has a complex chromatin structure, which is established in a stepwise manner regulated by host epigenetic factors during de novo infection. However, despite the importance of viral latency in KSHV pathogenesis, we still have limited information about the repertoire of epigenetic factors that are critical for the es… Show more

“…Recently, this group performed a comprehensive epigenome analysis of the KSHV genome and found the CpG motif as a cis-acting sequence for KDM2B, which consequently recruits Polycomb repressive complexes (PRCs) (Figure 1G; Gunther et al, 2019). Interestingly, a recent report from Naik et al (2020) describes siRNA screening and time course ChIP experiments showing that early deposition of KDM2B on the KSHV genome limits the enrichment of the active marks H3K4me3 and H3K36me2 and helps in the maintenance of viral latency (Figure 1H). The binding of KDM2B prior to PRC-regulated heterochromatin supports the potential role of KDM2B in the recruitment of PRCs to viral DNA following de novo initial infection.…”

“…In addition to viral proteins, cellular factors may also be involved in recruitment. The direct binding of the PRC component KDM2B to CpG islands may also help in the recruitment of PRCs to the KSHV genome (Gunther et al, 2019;Naik et al, 2020).…”

“…However, in some cases, specific KSHV proteins, the viral long non-coding PAN RNA, and the unmethylated CpG motifs in the viral DNA have been implicated in the regulation of the recruitment of host epigenetic factors to the viral episome [ 152 , 154 , 155 ]. A recent siRNA screen of host epigenetic factors during de novo KSHV infection identified several new players in the formation of the KSHV epigenome and establishment of latency beyond PRC1 and PRC2, which includes the histone demethlyase KDM2B, NuRD and Tip60 repressive complexes among many others [ 156 ]. It is likely that the binding of all of these host epigenetic factors contribute to the different epigenetic layers of the KSHV episome, which can support the establishment and maintenance of the chromatin structure of latent viral episomes.…”

“…Moreover, a recent siRNA epigenetic screen identified histone demethylase KDM2B as a key restriction factor of lytic gene transcription not only in latent infection but also in the lytic infection of primary gingival epithelial cells [ 156 ]. KDM2B is a histone demethylase associated with the removal of activating H3K4me3, H3K36me2 and H3K79me2 marks, and has also been shown to play a role in PRC1 recruitment to specific regions in the host genome [ 157 , 158 , 159 , 160 ].…”
