Abstract

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) poses an increasingly significant threat to public health. Building on our previous TBEV-host interactome study, we further refine the virus-host interaction network and show that multiple viral proteins, including prM, NS1, NS2B3, NS4A, and NS5, are associated with modulation of diverse host cellular pathways, including innate immune responses, autophagy, ribosomal biogenesis, homologous recombination, and cell cycle regulation. Notably, TBEV infection is associated with a modest but reproducible accumulation of host cells in the G0/G1 phase. Mechanistically, NS5 interacts with the histone acetyltransferase P300 and correlates with increased P16 expression and reduced CDK4 levels, consistent with G0/G1 cell-cycle arrest. Similar alterations were observed in TBEV-infected brain organoids. Pharmacological inhibition of P300 or activation of CDK4 attenuated virus-induced cell cycle changes and reduced viral RNA and protein levels. These findings provide valuable insights into TBEV pathogenicity and hold promise for antiviral drug development.

Code

The paper says that its authors' code is available on request: it was not published with the paper, so there is nothing to verify.

The paper's code and data availability statement is in the Data section.

Tracing map

A tracing map links a paper to the code its authors published: this paper has none (its code is available on request), so it has no map.

Data

No dataset and no data link were found in the paper.

Data and code availability

• All data are available in the main text or the supplementary materials. The mass spectrometry data are available in ProteomeX change under the identifier PXD048439. • This study did not generate new code. • Any additional information required to reanalyze the data reported in this article is available from the lead contact upon request.
