摘要
ABSTRACT Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is an emerging swine enteric coronavirus with zoonotic potential. The coronavirus spike (S) glycoprotein, especially the S1 subunit, mediates viral entry by binding to cellular receptors. However, the functional receptor of PDCoV remains poorly understood. In this study, we used the soluble PDCoV S1 protein as bait to capture the S1-binding cellular transmembrane proteins in combined immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analyses. A single guide RNA screen identified d -glucuronyl C5-epimerase (GLCE), a heparan sulfate-modifying enzyme, as a proviral host factor for PDCoV infection. GLCE knockout significantly inhibited the attachment and internalization stages of PDCoV infection. We also demonstrated the interaction between GLCE and PDCoV S with coimmunoprecipitation in both an overexpression system and PDCoV-infected cells. GLCE could be localized to the cell membrane, and an anti-GLCE antibody suppressed PDCoV infection. Although GLCE expression alone did not render nonpermissive cells susceptible to PDCoV infection, GLCE promoted the binding of PDCoV S to porcine amino peptidase N (pAPN), acting synergistically with pAPN to enhance PDCoV infection. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that GLCE is a novel cell-surface factor facilitating PDCoV entry and provide new insights into PDCoV infection. IMPORTANCE The identification of viral receptors is of great significance, potentially extending our understanding of viral infection and pathogenesis. Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is an emerging enteropathogenic coronavirus with the potential for cross-species transmission. However, the receptors or coreceptors of PDCoV are still poorly understood. The present study confirms that d -glucuronyl C5-epimerase (GLCE) is a positive regulator of PDCoV infection, promoting viral attachment and internalization. The anti-GLCE antibody suppressed PDCoV infection. Mechanically, GLCE interacts with PDCoV S and promotes the binding of PDCoV S to porcine amino peptidase N (pAPN), acting synergistically with pAPN to enhance PDCoV infection. This work identifies GLCE as a novel cell-surface factor facilitating PDCoV entry and paves the way for further insights into the mechanisms of PDCoV infection.
