The CRISPR-nuPin system.
(A) Schematics of the CRISPR-nuPin system. (B) Subcellular localization of transiently expressed Flag-dCas9-emerin and Flag-emerin in HEK293T cells. (C–D) dCas9-emerin cells were treated with doxycycline (+DOX), and the intracellular distribution of dCas9-emerin protein was examined by immunofluorescence staining with anti-Flag and anti-NUP98 (NUP) antibodies. Representative images scanned by confocal microscopy and 3D reconstructed are shown in D. (E–G) BAC-HSV-1 plasmids containing dCas9-emerin cells (+DOX) were electroporated with sgRNA targeting HSV-1 or ctrl sgRNA (E, F), or dCas9-emerin cells (+DOX) only were electroporated with telomere-targeting sgRNA or ctrl sgRNA (G, H). At the indicated time points post sgRNA electroporation, cells were fixed, and the intranuclear BAC or telomeres were stained by FISH and scanned under a confocal microscope. Representative images (upper panel) and their 3D reconstructions (bottom panel) are shown in (E and G). The percentage of the BACs or telomeres at the nuclear edge vs total intranuclear stains at each time point was calculated and plotted in F (BAC) and H (telomere), respectively. The total number of counted dots of each sampling group is shown as n at the bottom of (F and H). In panel (F) an average of approximately 30–50 nuclei were counted. In panel (H) approximately 27–30 nuclei were counted to generate the respective datasets. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. n.s. represents not significant, p>0.05, ‘*’ represents p≤0.05, ‘**’ represents p≤0.01, ‘***’ represents p≤0.001, and ‘****’ represents p≤0.0001.

Nuclear edging of the viral genomes upon entry suppressed HSV-1 infection.
(A) HEp-2 cells were infected with HSV-1 at an MOI of 5. Cells were fixed at 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 hpi, and the intranuclear HSV-1 genomes were stained by FISH and scanned under a confocal microscope. Representative image of the 2 hpi sample and its 3D reconstruction are shown in the left panel. The percentage of the nuclear edge-located HSV-1 genomes vs total intranuclear stains at each time point was calculated, plotted and shown in the right panel. The total number of counted dots is shown as n on the top of the right panel. (B) The cross-section of a representative image from A is shown in the left panel. The while line measures the diameter of an HSV-1 FISH spot. The yellow line measures the center of an HSV-1 FISH spot to the edge of DAPI. The red arrow points to a nuclear edge-localized HSV-1 FISH spot. Scale bars, 2 μm. In the right panel, the distance of more than 100 nuclear edge-HSV-1 spots to the margin of the DAPI-stained area was measured and plotted. (C) Sequence, position, and number of targeting sites of 5 HSV-1 sgRNAs in the viral genome (GenBank accession number GU734771). Note that the figure is not drawn to scale as the sgRNA targeting site’s sequence is relatively short compared to the entire HSV-1 genome. (D) dCas9-emerin cells expressing a ctrl sgRNA or each of the 5 HSV-1 sgRNAs were infected with HSV-1 at an MOI of 1. Virus yield at 24 hpi was titrated by plaque assay. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. ‘***’ represents ≤0.001 and ‘****’ represents p≤0.0001. (E) GFP-expressing HEp-2 cells (GFP), dCas9-expressing cells or dCas9-emerin cells were transfected with plasmids expressing HSV-1 sgRNA2 or ctrl sgRNA for 24 hr and infected with HSV-1 at an MOI of 1. Cell-associated viruses at 24 hpi were titrated by plaque assay. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. (F) dCas9 and dCas9-emerin cells were transfected with plasmids expressing HSV-1 sgRNA1 or sgRNA2 for 24 hr and infected with HSV-1 at an MOI of 1. Cell-associated viruses at 24 hpi were titrated by plaque assay. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. ‘****’ represents p≤0.0001. (G) dCas9 and dCas9-emerin cells were transfected with plasmids expressing HSV-1 sgRNA2 and infected with R8515 (a GFP expressing recombinant HSV-1) at an MOI of 1. Cells were imaged at 24 hpi. (H) dCas9-emerin cells transfected with plasmids expressing ctrl sgRNA or HSV-1 sgRNA2 for 24 hr were infected with HSV-1 (2 hr on ice) at different MOIs. The mRNA level of ICP27 at the indicated time points was quantified by qPCR. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. (I) dCas9-emerin cells were transfected with plasmids expressing HSV-1 sgRNA2 or ctrl sgRNA for 24 hr and infected (2 hr on ice) with HSV-1 at an MOI of 1. Cells were collected at the indicated times and separated into cytosol (C), membranous organelles (M) and nuclear compartments (N). Successful separation of the subcellular compartments was confirmed by immunoblotting with marker antibodies (I upper panel). The viral DNA content in the nuclear compartment was quantified by qPCR targeting the ICP27 region of the HSV-1 genome and normalized to total cellular viral DNA load. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. n.s. represents not significant, p>0.05, ‘*’ represents p≤0.05 and ‘**’ represents p≤0.01. Two independent experimental results are shown at the bottom panel of I. (J–K) dCas9-emerin cells with (+DOX) or without DOX (-DOX) were transfected with plasmids expressing HSV-1 sgRNA or ctrl sgRNA for 24 hr and then infected with HSV-1 at an MOI of 5. At the indicated time point post infection, cells were fixed and stained with anti-ICP8 (green) and anti-Flag (red) antibodies. Two representative images at each time point are shown in J. White arrows indicate nuclei with diffuse ICP8 (inefficient replication compartment formation), and red arrows indicate nuclei with aggregated/condensed ICP8 (replication compartment formation). (K) More than 200 nuclei in each sampling group were counted, and the HSV-1 replication center formation efficiency (nuclei of aggregated/condensed ICP8 vs total ICP8-positive nuclei) was quantified and plotted. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. (L) The fraction of viral DNA (targeting the ICP27 region; top panel) or host genomic DNA (targeting GAPDH) (bottom panel) immunoprecipitated with the indicated antibodies was quantified by qPCR and compared to their respective levels immunoprecipitated by a nonspecific antibody (ab) (IgG) and plotted. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. (M) ChIP assay examining the histone packaging level on the promoters of ICP27, ICP8 and VP16 of HSV-1 in HSV-1 sgRNA- or ctrl sgRNA-expressing dCas9-emerin cells at the indicated time points post infection (2 hr on ice) was performed using anti-H3 antibody. The results were displayed as enrichment (fold) by comparing the fraction of viral promoters immunoprecipitated by anti-H3 to the fraction of GAPDH immunoprecipitated in the same reaction. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. n.s. represents not significant, p>0.05 and ‘**’ represents p≤0.01. (N) HSV-1 sgRNA- or ctrl sgRNA-expressing dCas9-emerin cells were treated with DMSO or different HDACi: valproic acid (VPA), trichostatin A (TSA), romidepsin (FK 228) or sodium butyrate (NaB) and infected with HSV-1 (2 hr on ice) at an MOI of 1 (drug treatment started 5 hr before the infection). The mRNA level of ICP27 at 3 hpi was quantified by qPCR, and the ICP27 level in ctrl sgRNA-expressing cells was set as 100%. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. ‘***’ represents ≤0.001 and ‘****’ represents p≤0.0001.

Dislodging HSV-1 genomes to the nuclear edge at 1 hpi promoted virus infection, termed ‘Escaping’.
(A) dCas9 cells (+DOX) mock-infected or infected with HSV-1 were fixed at 3 hpi, and the intracellular distribution of dCas9-emerin and NUP98 was stained with anti-Flag (green) and anti-NUP98 (NUP) (red) antibodies. (B) Schematics of the following experiments. dCas9-emerin cells were infected (2 hr on ice) with HSV-1 at an MOI of 1 and electroporated with HSV-1 sgRNA or ctrl sgRNA at 0 (immediately post virus inoculation), 0.5, 1 and 2 hpi. (C–D) At 5 min post sgRNA electroporation at the indicated time, the cells were fixed, and the intranuclear HSV-1 genomes were stained by FISH (red). Representative confocal images (upper panel) and their 3D reconstructions (3D reconstruction shows only the surface of the DAPI-stained area) are shown in C. More than 1000 total FISH-stained dots from approximately 155–250 nuclei were counted in each sampling group (n represents the total number of counted dots in each experimental group) The percentage of marginalized HSV-1 genomes vs total intranuclear counts is plotted in D. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. ‘****’ represents p≤0.0001. (E). At 12 hpi, cell-associated viruses were titrated. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. ‘*’ represents p≤0.05, ‘**’ represents p≤0.01. (F) Cell-associated virus yields during the first 12 hr post infection were examined. dCas9-emerin cells electroporated with ctrl sgRNA (empty rectangle) or HSV-1 sgRNA (filled rectangle) at 0 hpi served as a reference in the three charts in F. The blue arrow indicates the time of sgRNA electroporation. The red filled cycle represents the virus yield in cells that received HSV-1 sgRNA, and the green empty cycle represents the virus yield in cells that received ctrl sgRNA. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. n.s. represents not significant, p>0.05, ‘*’ represents p≤0.05, ‘**’ represents p≤0.01, and ‘***’ represents ≤0.001. (G) At 6 hpi, cells were fixed and stained with anti-ICP8 (green). Representative images of all stages of replication center formation are shown.

(A) The mRNA levels of ICP27, TK, ICP0 and VP16 at the indicated time points were measured by qPCR. (B) The protein levels of ICP0, ICP8, TK and VP16 at the indicated time points were measured by immunoblotting. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. (C) dCas9-emerin cells were pretreated with PAA (500 µg/mL) or DMSO for 2 hr before infection and throughout the experiment and electroporated with HSV-1 sgRNA or ctrl sgRNA at 1 hpi. The mRNA levels of TK and VP16 at the indicated time points were measured by qPCR. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. (D) Five-fold more protein than B was loaded to detect early expression of viral genes by immunoblotting. (E) Cells were fixed at 1.5 hpi and stained with an anti-ICP0 antibody. (F) dCas9-emerin cells overexpressing ICP0 were infected with HSV-1 (2 hr on ice) at an MOI of 1 and electroporated with HSV-1 sgRNA or ctrl sgRNA at the indicated time points. The virus yields at 24 hpi were titrated. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. n.s. represents not significant, p>0.05, ‘*’ represents p≤0.05, ‘**’ represents p≤0.01, ‘***’ represents ≤0.001, and ‘****’ represents p≤0.0001. (G) dCas9-emerin cells overexpressing either ICP0 or GFP were processed as in A. The fold change of virus titer induced by E1hpi in ICP0 overexpressing cells versus that in GFP overexpressing cells from three independent experiments were calculated by normalizing the virus titer in cells electroporated with HSV-1 sgRNA at 1 hpi to that in cells electroporated with control sgRNA at 1 hpi and plotted (same shape of symbols represents the same batch of experiments). Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. ‘**’ represents p≤0.01. Expression of ICP0 was confirmed by immunoblotting. (H) Cells infected with ΔICP0 virus were processed similarly to F. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. ‘*’ represents p≤0.05 and ‘***’ represents ≤0.001. (I) Cells infected with ΔICP0 virus were processed similarly to (A) and the mRNA levels of TK and VP16 at the indicated time points were measured by qPCR. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3.

Characterization of the growth of ΔICP0 in dCas9-emerin cells with viral genomes inserted into the nucleus upon their entry.
(A) HEp-2 cells were pretreated with PAA (500 µg/mL) or DMSO for 2 hr and infected (2 hr on ice) with HSV-1 at an MOI of 0.1 (PAA and DMSO were added all the time). Cells were collected at the indicated time points post infection, and the relative HSV-1 genome level (normalized to GAPDH) was quantified by qPCR. Data shown are mean ± SD, n = 3. (B) Three independent experimental results of Figure 4G. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. ‘*’ represents p≤0.05, ‘**’ represents p≤0.01, and ‘****’ represents p≤0.0001. (C–F) dCas9-emerin cells transfected with HSV-1 sgRNA or ctrl sgRNA for 24 hr were infected with ΔICP0 virus at the indicated MOI (C) or an MOI of 1 (D–F). (C) Cell-associated ΔICP0 was titrated at 24 hpi. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. (D) Cell-associated ΔICP0 was titrated at 24 hpi. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. (E) The mRNA levels of ICP27, TK and VP16 were quantified by qPCR. (F) The protein levels of ICP27, ICP0, TK and VP16 were examined by immunoblotting. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. (G) dCas9-emerin cells infected with ΔICP0 virus at an MOI of 1 were electroporated with HSV-1 sgRNA or ctrl sgRNA at 1 hpi. (F) At 12 hpi, cell-associated viruses were titrated by plaque assay. (G) dCas9-emerin cells overexpressing either ICP0 or GFP were infected with ΔICP0 virus at an MOI of 1 and electroporated with HSV sgRNA or ctrl sgRNA at 1 hpi. Cell-associated viruses at 24 hpi were titrated. Data is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3, and P values are calculated using the Student's t-test. ‘*’ represents p≤0.05 and ‘****’ represents p≤0.0001.
