Dynamic Proteomics of Herpes Simplex Virus Infection

ABSTRACT The cellular response to viral infection is usually studied at the level of cell populations. Currently, it remains an open question whether and to what extent cell-to-cell variability impacts the course of infection. Here we address this by dynamic proteomics—imaging and tracking 400 yello...

Currently, it remains an open question whether and to what extent cell-to-cell variability impacts the course of infection. Here we address this by dynamic proteomics—imaging and tracking 400 yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-tagged host proteins in individual cells infected by herpes simplex virus 1. By quantifying time-lapse fluorescence imaging, we analyze how cell-to-cell variability impacts gene expression from the viral genome. We identify two proteins, RFX7 and geminin, whose levels at the time of infection correlate with successful initiation of gene expression. These proteins are cell cycle markers, and we find that the position in the cell cycle at the time of infection (along with the cell motility and local cell density) can reasonably predict in which individual cells gene expression from the viral genome will commence. We find that the onset of cell division dramatically impacts the progress of infection, with 70% of dividing cells showing no additional gene expression after mitosis. Last, we identify four host proteins that are specifically modulated in infected cells, of which only one has been previously recognized. SUMO2 and RPAP3 levels are rapidly reduced, while SLTM and YTHDC1 are redistributed to form nuclear foci. These modulations are dependent on the expression of ICP0, as shown by infection with two mutant viruses that lack ICP0. Taken together, our results provide experimental validation for the long-held notion that the success of infection is dependent on the state of the host cell at the time of infection. IMPORTANCE High-throughput assays have revolutionized many fields in biology, both by allowing a more global understanding of biological processes and by deciphering rare events in subpopulations. Here we use such an assay, dynamic proteomics, to study viral infection at the single-cell level. We follow tens of thousands of individual cells infected by herpes simplex virus using fluorescence live imaging. Our results link the state of a cell at the time of virus infection with its probability to successfully initiate gene expression from the viral genome.
