Identification of AXL as a co-receptor for human parvovirus B19 infection of human erythroid progenitors
Parvovirus B19 (B19V) infects human erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs) and causes several hematological disorders and fetal hydrops. Amino acid (aa) 5–68 of minor capsid protein VP1 (VP1u(5–68aa)) is the minimal receptor binding domain for B19V to enter EPCs. Here, we carried out a genome-wide CRISPR...

Sumario: | Parvovirus B19 (B19V) infects human erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs) and causes several hematological disorders and fetal hydrops. Amino acid (aa) 5–68 of minor capsid protein VP1 (VP1u(5–68aa)) is the minimal receptor binding domain for B19V to enter EPCs. Here, we carried out a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 guide RNA screen and identified tyrosine protein kinase receptor UFO (AXL) as a proteinaceous receptor for B19V infection of EPCs. AXL gene silencing in ex vivo expanded EPCs remarkably decreased B19V internalization and replication. Additions of the recombinant AXL extracellular domain or a polyclonal antibody against it upon infection efficiently inhibited B19V infection of ex vivo expanded EPCs. Moreover, B19V VP1u interacted with the recombinant AXL extracellular domain in vitro at a relatively high affinity (K(D) = 103 nM). Collectively, we provide evidence that AXL is a co-receptor for B19V infection of EPCs. |
