The segmented flavivirus Alongshan virus reduces mitochondrial mass via degrading STAT2 to suppress innate immune response
Abstract Alongshan virus (ALSV) is a newly discovered pathogen of theFlaviviridaefamily, characterized by a multi-segmented genome distantly related to the canonical flaviviruses. Understanding the pathogenic mechanism of the emerging segmented flavivirus is crucial for the development of intervention strategies. Here we show that ALSV can infect multiple mammalian cells and induces the expression of antiviral genes. Moreover, ALSV is sensitive to IFN-β and possesses the ability to counteract type I IFN response. Mechanistically, ALSV’s nonstructural protein NSP1 binds to and degrades human STAT2 through an autophagy pathway in a species-dependent manner, resulting in direct inhibition of the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Specifically, NSP1 methyltransferase domain binds to the key sites of F175/R176 located in coiled-coil domain of STAT2. Moreover, NSP1-mediated degradation of STAT2 results in a reduction in mitochondrial mass by disrupting mitochondrial dynamics to induce mitophagy and inhibiting mitochondrial biogenesis, thereby suppressing the innate immune response. Interestingly, inhibiting mitophagy using 3-Methyladenine and enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis using the PPARγ agonist pioglitazone can reverse NSP1-mediated inhibition of ISGs, suggesting that promoting mitochondrial mass presents an effective antiviral strategy. Our findings elucidate the intricate regulatory crosstalk between ALSV and the host’s innate immune response, providing valuable insights into the pathogenesis and intervention strategy of emerging segmented flavivirus..
