Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) encodes four viral interferon regulatory factors (vIRFs) that target cellular IRFs and/or other innate-immune and stress signaling regulators and suppress the cellular response to viral infection and replication. For vIRF-1, cellular protein targets include IRFs, p53, p53-activating ATM kinase, BH3-only proteins, and antiviral signaling effectors MAVS and STING; vIRF-1 inhibits each, with demonstrated or likely promotion of HHV-8 de novo infection and productive replication. Here, we identify direct interactions of vIRF-1 with STAT3 and STAT-activating Janus kinase TYK2 (the latter reported previously by us to be inhibited by vIRF-1) and suppression by vIRF-1 of cytokine-induced STAT3 activation. Suppression of active, phosphorylated STAT3 (pSTAT3) by vIRF-1 was evident in transfected cells and vIRF-1 ablation in lytically-reactivated recombinant-HHV-8-infected cells led to increased levels of pSTAT3. Using a panel of vIRF-1 deletion variants, regions of vIRF-1 required for interactions with STAT3 and TYK2 were identified, which enabled correlation of STAT3 signaling inhibition by vIRF-1 with TYK2 binding, independently of STAT3 interaction. A viral mutant expressing vIRF-1 deletion-variant Δ198–222 refractory for TYK2 interaction and pSTAT3 suppression was severely compromised for productive replication. Conversely, expression of phosphatase-resistant, protractedly-active STAT3 led to impaired HHV-8 replication. Cells infected with HHV-8 mutants expressing STAT3-refractory vIRF-1 deletion variants or depleted of STAT3 displayed reduced vIRF-1 expression, while custom-peptide-promoted STAT3 interaction could effect increased vIRF-1 expression and enhanced virus replication. Taken together, our data identify vIRF-1 targeting and inhibition of TYK2 as a mechanism of STAT3-signaling suppression and critical for HHV-8 productive replication, the importance of specific pSTAT3 levels for replication, positive roles of STAT3 and vIRF-1-STAT3 interaction in vIRF-1 expression, and significant contributions to lytic replication of STAT3 targeting by vIRF-1. HHV-8 is involved etiologically in Kaposi’s sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and multicentric Castleman’s disease, which occur predominantly in the context of HIV co-infection. Effective treatments for these diseases, in which both latent and lytic modes of HHV-8 infection are implicated, are lacking. Understanding the molecular biology of HHV-8 and the virus-cellular interactions critical for virus productive and latent infection is important for the development of novel antiviral and therapeutic strategies. HHV-8 vIRF-1 is of demonstrated importance to both latency and lytic replication, contributing to latently-infected PEL cell viability and being required for efficient virus production. This study identifies direct interactions of vIRF-1 with signaling protein STAT3 and STAT-activating TYK2 kinase and correlates the respective interactions with vIRF-1 expression and suppression of STAT3 activation in infected cells along with promotion of productive replication. These data provide a foundation for the development of novel and specific antiviral agents targeting these newly-identified direct interactions.
