Disruption of host antiviral resistances by gammaherpesvirus tegument proteins with homology to the FGARAT purine biosynthesis enzyme

Copyright © 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved..

All known gammaherpesviruses encode at least one conserved tegument protein that contains sequence homology to the cellular purine biosynthesis enzyme: phosphoribosylformylglycineamide amidotransferase (FGARAT, or PFAS). While no enzymatic activity have been found on these viral FGARAT-homology proteins (vFGARAT), they are important for disarming host intrinsic antiviral machinery. Most vFGARAT proteins disrupt the intrinsic antiviral response-associated cellular subnuclear structure: ProMyelocytic Leukemia (PML) associated nuclear body (PML-NB). vFGARATs from different viruses target different components of PML-NB to prevent cellular repression of viral infection. In addition, vFGARATs of rhadinoviruses were recently found to oligomerize with the cellular FGARAT to deamidate RIG-I and repress inflammatory cytokine production. In this review we discuss the diverse mechanisms of antiviral response disruption by gammaherpesvirus vFGARATs and the significance of the enzyme homology domain.
