Viral infection triggers a robust DNA damage response (DDR), reshaping the host chromatin landscape to facilitate viral replication. Here, we uncover a novel mechanism by which alphaherpesviruses exploit the DDR pathway. We demonstrated that herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and pseudorabies virus (PRV) induced selective degradation of class I histone deacetylases (HDAC1/2), leading to histone hyperacetylation and subsequent DDR activation. Strikingly, viral infection promoted nuclear export of HDAC1/2, followed by MDM2-mediated K63-linked polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation in the cytoplasm. Pharmacological inhibition of either DDR signaling or HDAC1/2 nuclear export significantly affected viral replication in vitro and in vivo. Our findings reveal a unique viral strategy to hijack host epigenetic regulation for efficient replication and identify potential therapeutic targets for alphaherpesvirus infections.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
