Although microarray and expressed sequence tag (EST)-based approaches have been used to profile gene expression during baculovirus infection, the response of host genes to baculovirus infection and the interaction between baculovirus and its host remain largely unknown. To determine the host response toBombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus infection and the dynamic interaction between the virus and its host, eight digital gene expression libraries were examined in a Bm5 cell line before infection and at 1.5, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 96 h postinfection. Gene set enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes at each time point following infection showed that gene sets including cytoskeleton, transcription, translation, energy metabolism, iron ion metabolism, and the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway were altered after viral infection. In addition, a time course depicting protein-protein interaction networks between the baculovirus and the host were constructed and revealed that viral proteins interact with a multitude of cellular machineries, such as the proteasome, cytoskeleton, and spliceosome. Several viral proteins, including IE2, CG30, PE38, and PK-1/2, were predicted to play key roles in mediating virus-host interactions. Based on these results, we tested the role of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and iron ion metabolism in the viral infection cycle. Treatment with a proteasome inhibitor and deferoxamine mesylatein vitro andin vivo confirmed that these pathways regulate viral infection. Taken together, these findings provide new insights into the interaction between the baculovirus and its host and identify molecular mechanisms that can be used to block viral infection and improve baculovirus expression systems.
