    MedChemExpress inhibitor ck 666
    Pharmacological validation and inferred model of US3-mediated actin remodeling. ( a ) Schematic of the machine-learning workflow used to prioritize candidate F-actin regulators. Label-independent quantitative mass-spectrometry features were used for model training, whereas curated actin-regulator annotations were used only to define class labels. Prioritized candidates were subsequently selected for biological interpretation and experimental validation. ( b ) Flow-cytometric quantification of F-actin levels in N2A cells infected with WT HSV-1 or ΔUS3 HSV-1 and treated with the formin inhibitor SMIFH2, the Arp2/3 inhibitor <t>CK-666,</t> or both inhibitors. F-actin abundance was measured as the GeoMean MFI of Alexa Fluor 647–phalloidin at 0 and 24 hpi. Inhibition of either pathway partially attenuated the WT-associated reduction in F-actin, whereas combined inhibition prevented a statistically detectable reduction under the tested conditions. Data represent the mean ± SEM from three independent biological experiments. Statistical significance was assessed using two-way ANOVA followed by Šidák’s multiple-comparisons test. ns, not significant; * p < 0.05; **** p < 0.0001. ( c ) Proposed model integrating the US3 IP-MS interactome, machine-learning-prioritized proteins, and experimentally observed F-actin dynamics. Proteins detected in the US3 IP-MS interactome are distinguished from computationally prioritized or inferred proteins. Arrows represent proposed regulatory relationships, many of which may be indirect. The association between US3 and β-catenin was independently validated by reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation . During early infection, US3 is proposed to promote actin-polymerization programs involving Arp2/3- and formin-associated pathways, potentially supporting intracellular transport. At later stages, US3 is proposed to modulate Rho-family GTPase and cofilin signaling, contributing to stress-fiber disassembly and cytoskeletal remodeling associated with viral egress and spread. Myosin-associated motor complexes may contribute to cytoskeletal organization during both phases.

    Article Title: HSV-1 US3 Hijacks Conserved Actin Regulatory Complexes to Drive F-Actin Remodeling

    doi: 10.3390/v18070793

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Pharmacological validation and inferred model of US3-mediated actin remodeling. ( a ) Schematic of the machine-learning workflow used to prioritize candidate F-actin regulators. Label-independent quantitative mass-spectrometry features were used for model training, whereas curated actin-regulator annotations were used only to define class labels. Prioritized candidates were subsequently selected for biological interpretation and experimental validation. ( b ) Flow-cytometric quantification of F-actin levels in N2A cells infected with WT HSV-1 or ΔUS3 HSV-1 and treated with the formin inhibitor SMIFH2, the Arp2/3 inhibitor CK-666, or both inhibitors. F-actin abundance was measured as the GeoMean MFI of Alexa Fluor 647–phalloidin at 0 and 24 hpi. Inhibition of either pathway partially attenuated the WT-associated reduction in F-actin, whereas combined inhibition prevented a statistically detectable reduction under the tested conditions. Data represent the mean ± SEM from three independent biological experiments. Statistical significance was assessed using two-way ANOVA followed by Šidák’s multiple-comparisons test. ns, not significant; * p < 0.05; **** p < 0.0001. ( c ) Proposed model integrating the US3 IP-MS interactome, machine-learning-prioritized proteins, and experimentally observed F-actin dynamics. Proteins detected in the US3 IP-MS interactome are distinguished from computationally prioritized or inferred proteins. Arrows represent proposed regulatory relationships, many of which may be indirect. The association between US3 and β-catenin was independently validated by reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation . During early infection, US3 is proposed to promote actin-polymerization programs involving Arp2/3- and formin-associated pathways, potentially supporting intracellular transport. At later stages, US3 is proposed to modulate Rho-family GTPase and cofilin signaling, contributing to stress-fiber disassembly and cytoskeletal remodeling associated with viral egress and spread. Myosin-associated motor complexes may contribute to cytoskeletal organization during both phases.
