Abstract
Inflammasomes play important roles in resisting infections caused by various pathogens. HSV-1 is a highly contagious virus among humans. The process by which HSV-1 particles bud from the nucleus is unique to herpes viruses, but the specific mechanism is still unclear. Here, we screened genes involved in HSV-1 replication. We found that TET3 plays an essential role in HSV-1 infection. TET3 recognizes the UL proteins of HSV-1 and, upon activation, can directly bind to caspase-1 to activate an ASC-independent inflammasome in the nucleus. The subsequent cleavage of GSDMD in the nucleus is crucial for the budding of HSV-1 particles from the nucleus. Inhibiting the perforation ability of GSDMD on the nuclear membrane can significantly reduce the maturation and spread of HSV-1. Our results may provide a new approach for the treatment of HSV-1 in the future.
