Abstract
Pathogenic flaviviruses antagonize host cell Janus kinase/signal
transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling
downstream of interferons α/β. Here, we show that flaviviruses inhibit
JAK/STAT signaling induced by a wide range of cytokines beyond
interferon, including interleukins. This broad inhibition was mapped to
viral nonstructural protein 5 (NS5) binding to cellular heat shock
protein 90 (HSP90), resulting in reduced Janus kinase–HSP90 interaction
and thus destabilization of unchaperoned JAKs (and other kinase clients)
of HSP90 during infection by Zika virus,
West Nile virus, and Japanese encephalitis virus. Our studies implicate
viral dysregulation of HSP90 and the JAK/STAT pathway as a critical
determinant of cytokine signaling control during flavivirus infection.
