Table 2.

Viruses and aggregate formation. Examples of viral proteins involved in aggregate formation and their involvement in the autophagic response.

Virus Protein Involvement in Aggregate Formation Involvement of Autophagy
African swine fever virus (ASFV) - Concentrates vDNA in aggresome-like viral factories Not known
Baculoviruses BmNPV polyhedrin Co-localizes with aggregate markers Co-localizes with LC3
Adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) E4-11k and E1B-55k Sequester the MRN DNA repair complex to the insoluble fraction Re-localize components of RNA processing bodies to aggresomes
Influenza A virus (IAV) PB1-F2 Capable of oligomerizing into amyloid fibers Not known
Herpesviruses M45 (MCMV) Purified N-terminal fragment (90 aa) forms amyloid fibrils in vitro
Expression in cells causes accumulation of RIPK1 and NEMO as insoluble aggregates
Recruits autophagy adapters VPS26B and TBC1D5 and degrades aggregates by autophagy
ICP6 (HSV-1) Induces the formation of RIPK1 aggregates Degrades aggregates by autophagy
ICP6 (HSV-1) Re-localize nuclear APOBEC3 proteins to distinct structures in the cytoplasm Not known
BORF2 (EBV)
ORF61 (KSHV)
UL48 (HCMV) Sequester TRIM25 in aggregate structures Bind to 14-3-3 scaffold proteins and co-localize with p62
BPLF1 (EBV)
ORF64 (KSHV)
