PG - e0168623 LID - 10.1128/jvi.01686-23 [doi] LID - e01686-23 AB - The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) can lead to severe reproductive problems in sows, pneumonia in weaned piglets, and increased mortality, significantly negatively impacting the economy. Post-translational changes are essential for the host-dependent replication and long-term infection of PRRSV. Uncertainty surrounds the function of the ubiquitin network in PRRSV infection. Here, we screened 10 deubiquitinating enzyme inhibitors and found that the ubiquitin-specific proteinase 1 (USP1) inhibitor ML323 significantly inhibited PRRSV replication in vitro. Importantly, we found that USP1 interacts with nonstructural protein 1beta (Nsp1beta) and deubiquitinates its K48 to increase protein stability, thereby improving PRRSV replication and viral titer. Among them, lysine at position 45 is essential for Nsp1beta protein stability. In addition, deficiency of USP1 significantly reduced viral replication. Moreover, ML323 loses antagonism to PRRSV rSD16-K45R. This study reveals the mechanism by which PRRSV recruits the host factor USP1 to promote viral replication, providing a new target for PRRSV defense.IMPORTANCEDeubiquitinating enzymes are critical factors in regulating host innate immunity. The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) nonstructural protein 1beta (Nsp1beta) is essential for producing viral subgenomic mRNA and controlling the host immune system. The host inhibits PRRSV proliferation by ubiquitinating Nsp1beta, and conversely, PRRSV recruits the host protein ubiquitin-specific proteinase 1 (USP1) to remove this restriction. Our results demonstrate the binding of USP1 to Nsp1beta, revealing a balance of antagonism between PRRSV and the host. Our research identifies a brand-new PRRSV escape mechanism from the immune response.
