    • Abstract:
      Paramyxoviruses are significant human and animal pathogens that include mumps virus (MuV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and the murine parainfluenza virus Sendai (SeV). Despite their importance, few host factors implicated in paramyxovirus infection are known. Using a recombinant SeV expressing destabilized eGFP (rSeVCdseGFP) in a loss-of-function CRISPR screen, we identified the CMP-sialic acid transporter (CST) gene SLC35A1 and the UDP-galactose transporter (UGT) gene SLC35A2 as essential for paramyxovirus infection. As expected, SLC35A1 knockout (KO) cells showed drastic reduction in infections with SeV, NDV and MuV due to the lack of cell surface sialic acids receptors. However, SLC35A2 KO cells revealed unknown critical roles for this factor in virus-cell and cell-to-cell fusion events for the different paramyxoviruses. While UGT was essential for virus-cell fusion during SeV entry to the cell, it was not required for NDV or MuV entry. Importantly, UGT promoted the formation of syncytia during MuV infection, suggesting a role in cell-to-cell virus spread. Our findings demonstrate that paramyxoviruses can bind to or enter A549 cells in the absence of canonical galactose-bound sialic-acid decorations and show that UGT facilitates paramyxovirus fusion processes involved in entry and spread.
