Replication of many RNA viruses is accompanied by extensive remodeling of intracellular membranes. In poliovirus-infected cells, ER and Golgi stacks disappear, while new clusters of vesicle-like structures form sites for viral RNA synthesis. Virus replication is inhibited by brefeldin A (BFA), implicating some components(s) of the cellular secretory pathway in virus growth. Formation of characteristic vesicles induced by expression of viral proteins was not inhibited by BFA, but they were functionally deficient. GBF1, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the small cellular GTPases, Arf, is responsible for the sensitivity of virus infection to BFA, and is required for virus replication. Knockdown of GBF1 expression inhibited virus replication, which was rescued by catalytically active protein with an intact N-terminal sequence. We identified a mutation in GBF1 that allows growth of poliovirus in the presence of BFA. Interaction between GBF1 and viral protein 3A determined the outcome of infection in the presence of BFA. All positive strand RNA viruses replicate their genomes in association with membranous structures that are formed after infection by remodeling pre-existing cellular organelles. The role of membranes and the mechanisms exploited by viral proteins to orchestrate the formation and functioning of viral membranous replication complexes are largely unknown. Poliovirus replication is severely suppressed by brefeldin A (BFA), a well-known inhibitor of the cellular secretory pathway. Three cellular proteins (GBF1, BIG1 and BIG2) that activate small GTPases called Arfs, whose activity is necessary for normal functioning of the secretory pathway, are known targets of BFA. Here we demonstrate that poliovirus utilizes the GBF1-dependent Arf activation pathway for its replication. Our data explain the mechanism of BFA inhibition of poliovirus replication by demonstrating that viral protein 3A binds and recruits GBF1 to membranes that support viral RNA synthesis. Inactivation of GBF1 by BFA prevents Arf activation and recruitment, and prevents formation of functional replication complexes. Surprisingly, formation of membranous structures morphologically similar to viral replication complexes occurs in the presence of BFA, although these structures do not function in the synthesis of viral RNA. Other plus strand RNA viruses are known to exhibit sensitivity to BFA and our data suggest that hijacking of the Arf activation pathway may be a common feature shared by diverse groups of viruses.
