The autophagic pathway acts as part of the immune response against a variety of pathogens. However, several pathogens subvert autophagic signaling to promote their own replication. In many cases it has been demonstrated that these pathogens inhibit or delay the degradative aspect of autophagy. Here, using poliovirus as a model virus, we report for the first time bona fide autophagic degradation occurring during infection with a virus whose replication is promoted by autophagy. We found that this degradation is not required to promote poliovirus replication. However, vesicular acidification, which in the case of autophagy precedes delivery of cargo to lysosomes, is required for normal levels of virus production. We show that blocking autophagosome formation inhibits viral RNA synthesis and subsequent steps in the virus cycle, while inhibiting vesicle acidification only inhibits the final maturation cleavage of virus particles. We suggest that particle assembly, genome encapsidation, and virion maturation may occur in a cellular compartment, and we propose the acidic mature autophagosome as a candidate vesicle. We discuss the implications of our findings in understanding the late stages of poliovirus replication, including the formation and maturation of virions and egress of infectious virus from cells. The autophagic degradation pathway is a well-known agent of innate immunity. Several pathogens, including poliovirus (PV), a model for several medically important RNA viruses, subvert this pathway for their own benefit. In doing so, pathogens often inhibit the degradative portion of the pathway, presumably to prevent their own destruction. We show here that, surprisingly, PV infection results in high levels of degradative autophagy. However, we find that autophagic degradation is dispensable for PV replication. Inhibiting the formation of autophagosomes inhibits virus RNA replication and subsequent steps in virus production. Inhibiting the acidification of vesicles, which in the case of autophagosomes precedes fusion with lysosomes and autophagic degradation, inhibits a much later step in virus production. Our data suggest an important role for an acidic compartment of the cell in the final maturation step, cleaving a capsid protein to generate infectious virus. Importantly, these data also call into question the long-standing hypothesis that all steps in the production of infectious poliovirus are cytosolic.
