Identification and Functional Comparison of Seven-Transmembrane G-Protein-Coupled BILF1 Receptors in Recently Discovered Nonhuman Primate Lymphocryptoviruses

Abstract: Coevolution of herpesviruses with their respective host has resulted in a delicate balance between virus-encoded immune evasion mechanisms and host antiviral immunity. BILF1 encoded by human Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a 7-transmembrane (7TM) G-proteincoupled receptor (GPCR) with multiple immunomodulatory functions, including attenuation of PKR phosphorylation, activation of G-protein signaling, and downregulation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I surface expression. In this study, we explored … Show more

“…Indeed, BILF1 ectopic expression resulted in increased transforming capacity in a mouse xenograft tumor model [ 65 ]. BILF1 is conserved among lymphocriptovirus isolated from non-human primates supporting an important pathological role [ 66 ]. BNLF2a prevented binding of TAP to both peptide and ATP, thereby inhibiting peptide loading onto HLA class I molecules and antigen presentation to CTLs [ 67 , 68 , 69 ].…”

“…In contrast to the protein families discussed so far, the evolutionary history of human Herpesviridae proteins with 7-transmembrane receptor domains is more complex ( Fig. 4 ) ( Spiess et al, 2015 ). By comparing this gene tree with a species tree for human Herpesviridae ( Fig.…”

“…As such, using immunotoxins designed to target KSHV-infected cells could be a valid approach to efficiently kill KSHV-infected cells. With respect to the EBV-encoded BILF1 receptor, its pronounced cell surface expression [ 13 , 47 ], constitutive internalization [ 17 ], and expression during the lytic virus replication cycle, but also in latency [ 48 ], indicate that this receptor is a promising drug target suitable for immunotoxin targeting delivery. A drawback is that EBV-BILF1 is an orphan receptor (i.e., with no known ligands), but new technologies including nanobody and monobody design could offer highly specific ligands for immunotoxin targeting of EBV-BILF1.…”
