Nuclear domain 10 (ND10) components are restriction factors that inhibit herpesviral replication. Effector proteins of different herpesviruses can antagonize this restriction by a variety of strategies, including degradation or relocalization of ND10 proteins. We investigated the interplay of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) infection and cellular defense by nuclear domain 10 (ND10) components. Knock-down experiments in primary human cells show that KSHV-infection is restricted by the ND10 components PML and Sp100, but not by ATRX. After KSHV infection, ATRX is efficiently depleted and Daxx is dispersed from ND10, indicating that these two ND10 components can be antagonized by KSHV. We then identified the ORF75 tegument protein of KSHV as the viral factor that induces the disappearance of ATRX and relocalization of Daxx. ORF75 belongs to a viral protein family (viral FGARATs) that has homologous proteins in all gamma-herpesviruses. Isolated expression of ORF75 in primary cells induces a relocalization of PML and dispersal of Sp100, indicating that this viral effector protein is able to influence multiple ND10 components. Moreover, by constructing a KSHV mutant harboring a stop codon at the beginning of ORF75, we could demonstrate that ORF75 is absolutely essential for viral replication and the initiation of viral immediate-early gene expression. Using recombinant viruses either carrying Flag- or YFP-tagged variants of ORF75, we could further corroborate the role of ORF75 in the antagonization of ND10-mediated intrinsic immunity, and show that it is independent of the PML antagonist vIRF3. Members of the viral FGARAT family target different ND10 components, suggesting that the ND10 targets of viral FGARAT proteins have diversified during evolution. We assume that overcoming ND10 intrinsic defense constitutes a critical event in the replication of all herpesviruses; on the other hand, restriction of herpesviral replication by ND10 components may also promote latency as the default outcome of infection. Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) establishes a lifelong persistent infection in humans and is associated with tumors and lymphoproliferative disease, particularly upon immunosuppression. The virus has to overcome cellular intrinsic immunity in order to initiate viral protein expression and genome replication in primary infection. We demonstrated that KSHV is restricted by a cellular intrinsic immunity complex called nuclear domain 10 (ND10) and identified a critical role of the KSHV ORF75 protein, which is part of the viral particle, in this process. We found that ORF75 is essential for viral replication and that ORF75 leads to disappearance of the ND10 protein ATRX. Furthermore, it induces the relocalization of several other ND10 components. Noteworthy, all herpesviruses studied so far have evolved mechanisms for ND10 counteraction, indicating the importance of this step for herpesviral replication. The individual mechanisms, however, including the extent of ND10-antagonization, are of considerable variation between different herpesviruses. We speculate that, in contrast to efficient lytic replication of alphaherpesviruses, less effective ND10 counteraction may represent a doorway for gammaherpesviruses to latent infection.
