Modulation of Stress Granules and P Bodies during Dicistrovirus Infection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic cytosolic aggregates composed of ribonucleoproteins that are induced during cellular stress when protein synthesis is inhibited. The function of SGs is poorly understood, but they are thought to be sites for reorganizing mRNA and protein. Several viruses can modulate SG formation, suggesting that SGs have an impact on virus infection. In this study, we have investigated the relationship of SG formation in Drosophila S2 cells infected by cricket paralysis virus (CrPV), a member of the Dicistroviridae family. Despite a rapid shutoff of host translation during CrPV infection, several hallmark SG markers such as the Drosophila TIA-1 and G3BP (RasGAP-SH3-binding protein) homologs, Rox8 and Rin, respectively, do not aggregate in CrPV-infected cells, even when challenged with potent SG inducers such as heat shock, oxidative stress, and pateamine A treatment. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a subset of P body markers become moderately dispersed at late times of infection. In contrast, as shown by fluorescent in situ hybridization, poly(A)(+) RNA granules still form at late times of infection. These poly(A)(+) RNA granules do not contain viral RNA nor do they colocalize with P body markers. Finally, our results demonstrate that the CrPV viral 3C protease is sequestered to SGs under cellular stress but not during virus infection. In summary, we propose that dicistrovirus infection leads to the selective inhibition of distinct SGs so that viral proteins are available for viral processing.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
