Identification of the Cell-Surface Protease ADAM9 as an Entry Factor for Encephalomyocarditis Virus

ABSTRACT Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is an animal pathogen and an important model organism, whose receptor requirements are poorly understood. Here, we employed a genome-wide haploid genetic screen to identify novel EMCV host factors. In addition to the previously described picornavirus recept...

Here, we employed a genome-wide haploid genetic screen to identify novel EMCV host factors.

These factors include components of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling pathway, such as the potential receptors FGFR1 and ADAM9, a cell-surface metalloproteinase. By employing various knockout cells, we confirmed the importance of the identified host factors for EMCV infection. The largest reduction in infection efficiency was observed in cells lacking ADAM9. Pharmacological inhibition of the metalloproteinase activity of ADAM9 did not affect virus infection. Moreover, reconstitution of inactive ADAM9 in knockout cells restored susceptibility to EMCV, pointing to a proteinase-independent role of ADAM9 in mediating EMCV infection. Using neutralization assays with ADAM9-specific antiserum and soluble receptor proteins, we provided evidence for a role of ADAM9 in EMCV entry.
