Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme of salvage nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD<sup>+</sup>) synthesis, is an interferon-inducible protein that inhibits the replication of several RNA and DNA viruses through unknown mechanisms. Here, we show that NAMPT restricts herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) replication by impeding the virion incorporation of viral proteins owing to its phosphoribosyl-hydrolase (phosphoribosylase) activity, which is independent of the role of NAMPT in NAD<sup>+</sup> synthesis. Proteomics analysis of HSV-1-infected cells identifies phosphoribosylated viral structural proteins, particularly glycoproteins and tegument proteins, which are de-phosphoribosylated by NAMPT in vitro and in cells. Chimeric and recombinant HSV-1 carrying phosphoribosylation-resistant mutations show that phosphoribosylation promotes the incorporation of structural proteins into HSV-1 virions and subsequent virus entry. Loss of NAMPT renders mice highly susceptible to HSV-1 infection. Our work describes an additional enzymatic activity of a metabolic enzyme in viral infection and host defence, offering a system to interrogate the roles of protein phosphoribosylation in metazoans.</p>","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"191 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":20.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142678635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we find that male mice carrying human P415A and H417R display winter depression-like behaviours that are caused by the actions of P415A and H417R in the adrenal gland. Systemic corticosterone level is downregulated in adaptation to shortening of day length, while P415A and H417R eliminate this downregulation by increasing corticosterone synthesis.

Screening for circulating inflammatory cytokines revealed persistently high levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) in diabetic mice. Contrary to expectation, stimulating IL-10 signalling increased capillary obstruction, whereas inhibiting IL-10 receptors with neutralizing antibodies or endothelial specific knockdown in diabetic mice reversed these impairments. Chronic treatment of diabetic mice with IL-10 receptor neutralizing antibodies improved cerebral blood flow, increased capillary flux and diameter, downregulated haemostasis and cell adhesion-related gene expression, and reversed cognitive deficits.
