Abstract
Zika virus (ZIKV) represents a new threat to global health, with particular relevance to the developing brain and risk of
congenital microcephaly. The basis by which ZIKV leads to neuronal death in the brain of the fetus is unknown, but
presumably relates to effects of ZIKV proteins on cellular health. ZIKV is an RNA Flavivirus encoding 10 proteins
including the NS2B/NS3 heterodimer that forms an active serine protease involved in cleavage of the ZIKV polypeptide
into individual proteins.
Here we propose to study the molecular basis of ZIKV-induced microcephaly. We hypothesize that the ZIKV
protease can function to cleave cytosolic host cellular proteins in neural precursor cells, leading to a range of cellular
defects, contributing to toxicity. This application brings together three experienced research groups with a track record of
collaboration on ZIKV. Our published work has focused on tropism of ZIKV for neural precursor cells, interaction of ZIKV
with the immune system, small molecule inhibitors of ZIKV, and effect of ZIKV on neuronal survival. We have also
published on neural stem cell biology, recessive human genetic microcephaly mutations, and flavivirus molecular
pathology. Our preliminary data demonstrates that ZIKV NS2B/NS3 misexpression can mediate cell death, in a manner
similar to ZIKV-induced cell death. Cell death can be abrogated with a protease-inactive mutation or by inhibition of
protease activity through ZIKV protease inhibitors (ZPIs). Proteomic analysis identified a series of proteins bound to the
ZIKV protease, which we term the ZIKV Protease-Ome (ZPO), at least one of which is a direct cleavage target of ZIKV
NS2B/NS3, and leads to blocked cytokinesis and cell death when inactivated, in a manner similar to ZIKV-induced cell
death.
The goal of this application is to discover the molecular, cellular and genetic basis by which ZIKV proteins
mediate neuronal cell death, particularly in the context of mammalian cerebral cortical development. We combine mass
spectrometry analysis, protein interaction networks, advanced bioinformatics, neuronal culture models, analysis of cell
cycle dynamics, and in vivo modeling. Importantly, we will focus on differences between toxicity observed with ZIKV
proteins and other sequence-similar flaviviruses that do not mediate neuronal death, and will study the mechanisms of
the particular neuronal vulnerability to cell death following ZIKV exposure. We will: 1] Test ZPO constituents to determine
which are direct protease targets of ZIKV NS2B/NS3. 2] Test ZPO to determine mechanisms by which ZIKV
NS2B/NS3-mediated cleavage leads to neuronal death. 3] Test the short and long term effects of ZIKV protease
expression on the developing brain, and the degree of rescue by inhibition of the ZIKV protease. The goal of these
experiments is to determine how specific components of the ZIKV genome lead to disrupted cortical development, to
determine mechanisms by which ZIKV impairs cell survival, and whether medications might benefit women exposed to
ZIKV during fetal brain development.
