HBV X Protein Induces Degradation of UBXN7, a Novel Negative Regulator of NF-κB Signaling, to Promote HBV Replication
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the function and mechanism of the effect of HBV on host protein ubiquitination remain largely unknown. We aimed at characterizing whether and how HBV promotes self-replication by affecting host protein...

description | Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the function and mechanism of the effect of HBV on host protein ubiquitination remain largely unknown. We aimed at characterizing whether and how HBV promotes self-replication by affecting host protein ubiquitination. In this study, we identified UBXN7, a novel inhibitor for nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling, was degraded via interaction with HBV X protein (HBx) to activate NF-κB signaling and autophagy, thereby affecting HBV replication. The expression of UBXN7 was analyzed by Western blot and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in HBV-transfected hepatoma cells and HBV-infected primary human hepatocytes (PHHs). The effects of UBXN7 on HBV replication were analyzed by using in vitro and in vivo assays, including stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) analysis. Changes in HBV replication and the associated molecular mechanisms were analyzed in hepatoma cell lines. SILAC analyses showed that the ubiquitination of UBXN7 was significantly increased in HepG2.2.15 cells compared with control cells. After HBV infection, HBx protein interacted with UBXN7 to promote K48-linked ubiquitination of UBXN7 at K99, leading to UBXN7 degradation. On the other hand, UBXN7 interacted with the ULK domain of IκB kinase β through its ubiquitin-associating domain to facilitate its degradation. This in turn reduced NF-κB signaling, leading to reduced autophagy and consequently decreased HBV replication. |
