    • Abstract:
      Viruses are dependent on the host factors for their replication and survival. Therefore, identification of host factors that druggable for antiviral development is crucial. The actin cytoskeleton plays an important role in the virus infection. The dynamics change of actin and its function are regulated by multiple actin-associated proteins (AAPs). However, the role and mechanism of various AAPs in the life cycle of virus are still enigmatic. In this study, we analyzed the roles of actin and AAPs in the replication of pseudorabies virus (PRV). Using a library of compounds targeting AAPs, our data found that multiple AAPs, such as Rho-GTPases, Rock, Myosin and Formin were involved in PRV infection. Besides, our result demonstrated that the actin-binding protein Drebrin was also participated in PRV infection. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the molecular mechanism of AAPs in the virus life cycle, in the hope of mining host factors for antiviral developments.
