Sarah Leigh changed review comment from: CCR5 was identified through an OMIM search for potential viral susceptibility genes. Initial triage by Illumina (Alison Coffey and team) was given a Tier 3 grouping (experimental evidence and association data consistent with viral susceptibility); to: CCR5 was identified through an OMIM search for potential viral susceptibility genes. Initial triage by Illumina (Alison Coffey and team) was given a Tier 3 grouping (experimental evidence and association data consistent with viral susceptibility). Illumina review: Cytokine receptor. From OMIM: Variation in the CCR5 gene is associated with susceptibility to West Nile Virus (PMID 16230476;21935451;19247438). Numerous studies additionally demonstrate variation in CCR5 is associated with resistance / susceptibility to HIV and HBV infection. PMID 24098976: Zapata et al. (2013) - main genetic factor related to HIV-1 resistance is the CCR5-Δ32 variant. The CCR5-Δ32 variant along with SNPs in the CCR5 promoter and the CCR2-V64I variant have been included in seven human haplogroups (HH) previously associated with resistance/susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and different rates of AIDS progression. This study determined the association of the CCR5 promoter SNPs, the CCR5-Δ32 mutation, CCR2-V64I SNP, and HH frequencies with resistance/susceptibility to HIV-1 infection in a cohort of HIV-1-serodiscordant couples from Colombia. The CCR5-Δ32 allele is not responsible for HIV-1 resistance in this HESN group; however, the CCR2-I allele could be protective, while the 29G allele might increase the likelihood of acquiring HIV-1 infection. HHG1 and the AGACCAC-CCR2-I-CCR5 wild-type haplotype might promote HIV-1 infection while HHF2 might be related to resistance. PMID 31686727: Moudi et al. (2019) - study evaluated the association between the CCR5-Δ32, CCR5-2459A/G, MCP-1-2518A/G, VDR-APa1A/C, VDR-Taq1T/C SNPs and HBV susceptibility, in samples of Iranian populations. Significant associations with susceptibility to chronic HBV infection was observed with CCR5-2459A/G, MCP1-2518A/G, VDR-APa1A/C, VDR-Taq1T/C polymorphisms. In addition, no association of the CCR5D32 SNP with the disease was found. PMID:31100442 - Koor et al. (2019) - 9 CCR5 haplotypes are defined by seven 5'UTR SNPs in HIV-1 disease. Study identified key SNPs in HIV-1 control in both controllers and progressors. |

Rebecca Foulger changed review comment from: Evidence Summary from Illumina curation team: The DICER1 gene, located on chromosome 14, position q32.13, was discovered in 2001 by Bernstein and is a member of the RNase III family, (also known as dicer 1, ribonuclease III; dicer1, Dcr-1 homolog (Drosophila); multinodular goitre 1). DICER1 is involved in the generation of double-stranded microRNAs (miRNAs), short non-coding RNAs, the cleavage of dsRNA into siRNAs, along with the biogenesis of numerous other small RNAs. There is increasing evidence DICER1 is also involved in regulating many other essential cellular processes such as those related to chromatin remodeling, inflammation, apoptosis and cell survival (Kurzynska-Kokorniak et al. 2015; Song and Rossi, 2017). DICER1 encodes a ∼220-KDa protein (RNase III endoribonuclease) which is a crucial component of the RNA Induced Silencing Complex (RISC) loading complex (RLC), comprised of dicer, Argonaute-2 (AGO-2), and trans-activation-responsive RNA binding protein 2 (TARBP2). The encoded protein is required by the RNA interference (RNAi) and small temporal RNA (stRNA) pathways to produce the active small RNA component which has a role in modulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Research has shown that expression levels of cellular transcript and protein dicer are strictly controlled, with aberrant regulation contributing to carcinogenesis, neurodegenerative, rheumatic and immune system disorders. Studies have concluded that the encoded dicer ribonuclease-dependent processing of dsRNA viral replication intermediates into successive siRNAs is a conserved mammalian immune response to infection by positive-strand RNA viruses (Svobodova et al. 2016 summary & fig1; Li et al. 2013; Ding et al. 2018). Moreover, miRNAs play an important role in host-virus interactions in mammals (See Maillard et al. 2019 REVIEW; Foulkes et al. 2014 REVIEW). IMMUNE SYSTEM The cre-lox method for dicer1 gene knockout has been employed for studies into the role of dicer1 in immune cell development and function. Studies of dicer1 fl/fl mice have indicated short survival times along with severely impaired GMP differentiation into monocytes, neutrophils, myeloid DCs & mature macrophages. (Devasthanam et al. 2014). Results conclude that dicer1 is important in immune response and also vital for cell survival and apoptosis pathways. Muljo et al. (2005) investigated a conditional allele of dicer-1 (dcr-1) within a mouse model and showed that specific dcr-1 deletion in the T-cell lineage, resulted in impaired development of T-cells & aberrant cell differentiation of T-helper cells & cytokine production. Dcr-1 deletion in the thymus resulted in severe block in development of CD8+ T cells and resulted in defective microRNA processing in CD4+ T-cells. The results demonstrate Dicer regulates diverse aspects of T-cell biology along with cytokine production during T-cell differentiation where dicer-deficient T-cells preferentially express interferon-ƴ. VIRUSES Research by Galiana-Arnoux et al. (2006), of DICER in drosophila (drosophila have two dicer genes) have identified that DICER genes (Dcr1, miRNA pathway and Dcr2, RNAi pathway) control production of siRNA and a loss-of-function mutation in Dcr2 resulted in increased susceptibility to three different families of RNA viruses. Qi et al. (2012) research into RNAi gene silencing mechanism show that the B2 protein in Wuhan nodavirus (WhNV) suppresses Dcr2 in drosophila by direct interaction with the PAZ and RNAse III domains therefore blocking processing of dsRNA and siRNA. Evidence of a dicer antiviral system was also reported by Machitani et al. (2016) for mammalian human adenoviruses where DICER1 gene knockdown increased the copy number of adenovirus-encoding small RNAs (VA-RNAs) leading to the promotion of adenovirus replication; conversely, dicer overexpression significantly inhibited viral replication. Modai et al. (2019) conclude that HIV-1 infection inhibits DICER1 by altering miRNA expression. They conclude that upon HIV-1 infection, human miR-186, 210 and 222 directly regulate DICER1 gene expression causing down-regulation of the gene contributing to impaired cell-mediated immunity (fig6). Other methods of inhibition are from viral proteins, termed viral suppressors of RNA silencing, which interact and inhibit dicer ribonuclease activity in HIV-1 and hepatitis C infections. These viral proteins may mediate proteasomal degradation of endoribonuclease dicer through CRL4DCAF1 ubiquitin ligase complex (Klockow et al. 2013), interact directly via the core protein (Chen et al. 2008) or HIV-1 transactivation of transcription (Bennasser and Jeang, 2006). Through these methods they can block dicer interactions with TRBP2 or ADAR1, boost macrophage infection, and subsequently reduce the function of short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) which thus inhibit RNA silencing. Ultimately these viruses, though various methods, supress the ability of dicer to process dsRNAs into siRNAs boosting viral infection and pathogenesis. Downregulation of DICER1 gene expression has additionally been found in cord blood of infants with severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), prior to RSV exposure, indicating this reduced expression may predispose newborns to RSV disease. Inchley et al. (2011) theorize that this occurs via disruption of leukocyte gene regulation of miRNA and direct anti-viral RNAi mechanisms. (Inchley et al. 2011 see section on “Dicer Gene Expression”). Otsuka et al. (2007) have shown using gene-trap methods to obtain viable dicer1 fl/fl mice where dicer1 deficiency caused impairment of miR24 and miR93 production resulting in susceptibility to vesticular stomatitis virus (VSV) and herpes simplex-1 virus, but not other viruses tested. SARS CoV & SARS CoV-2 Recently, Pasquier and Robichon, 2020 (preprint) have investigated the Dicer host immunity system regarding SARs-CoV-2 within a computational approach, concluding SARS-CoV2 may manipulate this system of immunity against its host, requiring further research. Mu et al., 2020 suggest SARs-CoV2 suppresses RNAi thus preventing recognition by the encoded ribonuclease dicer protein Viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) suppress RNAi at pre or post-dicer level to overcome host defense and establish infection. Cui et al. (2015) from Wuhan University laboratory of virology, identified a novel VSR from coronaviruses (CoVs) including Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and showed that the coronavirus nucelocaspid protein (N-protein), conserved and expressed in all coronaviruses, suppressed RNAi triggered by either short hairpin RNAs or small interfering RNAs in mammalian cells. They went on to show using mouse hepatitis virus A-59 (MHV-A59) which is closely linked to SARS-CoV in the family coronaviridae, that the viral replication was increased when the N proteins (novel VSR) were expressed but that knockdown of DICER1 gene or Ago2 transcripts facilitated the viral replication specifically in mammalian cells. They demonstrate that the N-protein of CoVs could efficiently inhibit dicer-mediated dsRNA cleavage and post-Dicer activities by sequestering dsRNAs and siRNAs. Kannan et al. (2020) performed clustal W analysis of N-Protein for SARS-CoV and COVID-19 demonstrating 90% sequence identity from an NCBI amino acid blast of both nucleocapsid (N) protein sequences (figure2). They suggest that the N-protein of COVID-19 may also function as a VSR for RNAi to overcome host defense. Ding et al. (2017) show that both MHV and SARS-CoV N proteins can also disrupt protein activator of protein kinase R (PACT), a cellular dsRNA-binding protein which binds to RIG-I and MDA5 to activate interferon (IFN) production to prevent antiviral host response.

Ultimately these viruses, though various methods, supress the ability of dicer to process dsRNAs into siRNAs boosting viral infection and pathogenesis. Downregulation of DICER1 gene expression has additionally been found in cord blood of infants with severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), prior to RSV exposure, indicating this reduced expression may predispose newborns to RSV disease. Inchley et al. (2011) theorize that this occurs via disruption of leukocyte gene regulation of miRNA and direct anti-viral RNAi mechanisms. (Inchley et al. 2011 see section on “Dicer Gene Expression”). Otsuka et al. (2007) have shown using gene-trap methods to obtain viable dicer1 fl/fl mice where dicer1 deficiency caused impairment of miR24 and miR93 production resulting in susceptibility to vesticular stomatitis virus (VSV) and herpes simplex-1 virus, but not other viruses tested. SARS CoV & SARS CoV-2 Recently, Pasquier and Robichon, 2020 (preprint) have investigated the Dicer host immunity system regarding SARs-CoV-2 within a computational approach, concluding SARS-CoV2 may manipulate this system of immunity against its host, requiring further research. Mu et al., 2020 suggest SARs-CoV2 suppresses RNAi thus preventing recognition by the encoded ribonuclease dicer protein Viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) suppress RNAi at pre or post-dicer level to overcome host defense and establish infection. Cui et al. (2015) from Wuhan University laboratory of virology, identified a novel VSR from coronaviruses (CoVs) including Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and showed that the coronavirus nucelocaspid protein (N-protein), conserved and expressed in all coronaviruses, suppressed RNAi triggered by either short hairpin RNAs or small interfering RNAs in mammalian cells. They went on to show using mouse hepatitis virus A-59 (MHV-A59) which is closely linked to SARS-CoV in the family coronaviridae, that the viral replication was increased when the N proteins (novel VSR) were expressed but that knockdown of DICER1 gene or Ago2 transcripts facilitated the viral replication specifically in mammalian cells. They demonstrate that the N-protein of CoVs could efficiently inhibit dicer-mediated dsRNA cleavage and post-Dicer activities by sequestering dsRNAs and siRNAs. Kannan et al. (2020) performed clustal W analysis of N-Protein for SARS-CoV and COVID-19 demonstrating 90% sequence identity from an NCBI amino acid blast of both nucleocapsid (N) protein sequences (figure2). They suggest that the N-protein of COVID-19 may also function as a VSR for RNAi to overcome host defense. Ding et al. (2017) show that both MHV and SARS-CoV N proteins can also disrupt protein activator of protein kinase R (PACT), a cellular dsRNA-binding protein which binds to RIG-I and MDA5 to activate interferon (IFN) production to prevent antiviral host response.
