Structural basis of toll-like receptor 3 signaling with double-stranded RNA.

ABSTRACT: Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) recognizes double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a molecular signature of most viruses, and triggers inflammatory responses that prevent viral spread. TLR3 ectodomains (ECDs) dimerize on oligonucleotides of at least 40 to 50 base pairs in length, the minimal length required for signal transduction. To establish the molecular basis for ligand binding and signaling, we determined the crystal structure of a complex between two mouse TLR3-ECDs and dsRNA at 3.4 angstrom resolution. Each TLR3-ECD binds dsRNA at two sites located at opposite ends of the TLR3 horseshoe, and an intermolecular contact between the two TLR3-ECD C-terminal domains coordinates and stabilizes the dimer. This juxtaposition could mediate downstream signaling by dimerizing the cytoplasmic Toll interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains. The overall shape of the TLR3-ECD does not change upon binding to dsRNA.

Structural basis of chimpanzee APOBEC3H dimerization stabilized by double-stranded RNA.

Project description:APOBEC3H (A3H) is a mammal-specific cytidine deaminase that potently restricts the replication of retroviruses. Primate A3Hs are known to exert key selective pressures against the cross-species transmission of primate immunodeficiency viruses from chimpanzees to humans. Despite recent advances, the molecular structures underlying the functional mechanisms of primate A3Hs have not been fully understood. Here, we reveal the 2.20-Å crystal structure of the chimpanzee A3H (cpzA3H) dimer bound to a short double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which appears to be similar to two recently reported structures of pig-tailed macaque A3H and human A3H. In the structure, the dsRNA-binding interface forms a specialized architecture with unique features. The analysis of the dsRNA nucleotides in the cpzA3H complex revealed the GC-rich palindrome-like sequence preference for dsRNA interaction, which is largely determined by arginine residues in loop 1. In cells, alterations of the cpzA3H residues critical for the dsRNA interaction severely reduce intracellular protein stability due to proteasomal degradation. This suggests that cpzA3H stability is regulated by the dsRNA-mediated dimerization as well as by unknown cellular machinery through proteasomal degradation in cells. Taken together, these findings highlight unique structural features of primate A3Hs that are important to further understand their cellular functions and regulation.

Structural basis of siRNA recognition by TRBP double-stranded RNA binding domains.

Project description:The accurate cleavage of pre-micro(mi)RNAs by Dicer and mi/siRNA guide strand selection are important steps in forming the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The role of Dicer binding partner TRBP in these processes remains poorly understood. Here, we solved the solution structure of the two N-terminal dsRNA binding domains (dsRBDs) of TRBP in complex with a functionally asymmetric siRNA using NMR, EPR, and single-molecule spectroscopy. We find that siRNA recognition by the dsRBDs is not sequence-specific but rather depends on the RNA shape. The two dsRBDs can swap their binding sites, giving rise to two equally populated, pseudo-symmetrical complexes, showing that TRBP is not a primary sensor of siRNA asymmetry. Using our structure to model a Dicer-TRBP-siRNA ternary complex, we show that TRBP's dsRBDs and Dicer's RNase III domains bind a canonical 19 base pair siRNA on opposite sides, supporting a mechanism whereby TRBP influences Dicer-mediated cleavage accuracy by binding the dsRNA region of the pre-miRNA during Dicer cleavage.

Structural basis for cytosolic double-stranded RNA surveillance by human oligoadenylate synthetase 1.

Project description:The human sensor of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (hOAS1) polymerizes ATP into 2',5'-linked iso-RNA (2-5A) involved in innate immunity, cell cycle, and differentiation. We report the crystal structure of hOAS1 in complex with dsRNA and 2'-deoxy ATP at 2.7 Å resolution, which reveals the mechanism of cytoplasmic dsRNA recognition and activation of oligoadenylate synthetases. Human OAS1 recognizes dsRNA using a previously uncharacterized protein/RNA interface that forms via a conformational change induced by binding of dsRNA. The protein/RNA interface involves two minor grooves and has no sequence-specific contacts, with the exception of a single hydrogen bond between the -NH(2) group of nucleobase G17 and the carbonyl oxygen of serine 56. Using a biochemical readout, we show that hOAS1 undergoes more than 20,000-fold activation upon dsRNA binding and that canonical or GU-wobble substitutions produce dsRNA mutants that retain either full or partial activity, in agreement with the crystal structure. Ultimately, the binding of dsRNA promotes an elaborate conformational rearrangement in the N-terminal lobe of hOAS1, which brings residues D75, D77, and D148 into proximity and creates coordination geometry for binding of two catalytic Mg(2+) ions and ATP. The assembly of this critical active-site structure provides the gate that couples binding of dsRNA to the production and downstream functions of 2-5A.

Crystallinity of Double-Stranded RNA-Antimicrobial Peptide Complexes Modulates Toll-Like Receptor 3-Mediated Inflammation.

Project description:Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) by specific binding to endosomal Toll-like receptor-3 (TLR3). Recently, it has been shown that hyperactivation of TLR3 in psoriatic keratinocytes by dsRNA can occur in the presence of human antimicrobial peptide (AMP) LL37. Here, we combine synchrotron X-ray scattering, microscopy, computer simulations, and measurements of NHEK cytokine production to elucidate a previously unanticipated form of specific molecular pattern recognition. LL37 and similar ?-helical AMPs can form pro-inflammatory nanocrystalline complexes with dsRNA that are recognized by TLR3 differently than dsRNA alone. dsRNA complexes that activate IL-6 production in NHEK and those that do not are both able to enter cells and co-localize with TLR3. However, the crystallinity of these AMP-dsRNA complexes, specifically the geometric spacing between parallel dsRNA and the repeat number of ordered dsRNA, strongly influences the level of TLR3 activation. Crystalline complexes that present dsRNA at a spacing that matches with the steric size of TLR3 can recruit and engage multiple TLR3 receptors, driving receptor clustering and immune amplification, whereas crystalline complexes that exhibit poor steric matching do not. Reverse-transcription quantitative PCR of IL-6 during siRNA knockdown of TLR3 confirms that cytokine production is due to TLR3: High levels of IL-6 transcription are observed for sterically matched complexes without TLR3 knockdown, whereas such activity is abrogated with TLR3 knockdown.

Recognition of Double-Stranded RNA and Regulation of Interferon Pathway by Toll-Like Receptor 10.

Project description:Toll-like receptor (TLR)-10 remains an orphan receptor without well-characterized ligands or functions. Here, we reveal that TLR10 is predominantly localized to endosomes and binds dsRNA in vitro at endosomal pH, suggesting that dsRNA is a ligand of TLR10. Recognition of dsRNA by TLR10 activates recruitment of myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 for signal transduction and suppression of interferon regulatory factor-7 dependent type I IFN production. We also demonstrate crosstalk between TLR10 and TLR3, as they compete with each other for dsRNA binding. Our results suggest for the first time that dsRNA is a ligand for TLR10 and propose novel dual functions of TLR10 in regulating IFN signaling: first, recognition of dsRNA as a nucleotide-sensing receptor and second, sequestration of dsRNA from TLR3 to inhibit TLR3 signaling in response to dsRNA stimulation.

Oxidative stress enhances toll-like receptor 3 response to double-stranded RNA in airway epithelial cells.

Project description:Virus infections are a major cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations. Recently, Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) has been demonstrated to react to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and to be involved in the immune responses after viral infections. In the present study, we examined whether oxidative stress, which is involved in the pathogenesis of COPD, enhances the responses of TLR3 in airway epithelial cells. The effect of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on the release of IL-8 from BEAS-2B cells and primary human bronchial epithelial cells after stimulation with polyinosine-polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)], a synthetic analog of viral dsRNA and a ligand for TLR3, and the signal transduction were examined. One hundred to 150 muM H(2)O(2) significantly potentiated the release of IL-8 from the epithelial cells after stimulation with 10 microg/ml poly(I:C). The H(2)O(2)-augmented IL-8 release was inhibited by treatment with N-acetylcysteine. One hundred micromoles of H(2)O(2) enhanced the translocation of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB p65, but not that of interferon regulatory factor-3 (IRF-3), into the nucleus and the NF-kappaB DNA binding activity after poly(I:C) stimulation, which effect was inhibited not by the silencing of IRF-3 but by MG132, a proteasome inhibitor, or dexamethasone. One hundred micromoles of H(2)O(2) potentiated the TLR3 expression on the airway epithelial cells treated with poly(I:C). These data suggest that oxidative stress augments the response of TLR3 in airway epithelial cells via NF-kappaB and that this effect might be partly mediated by the enhancement of TLR3 expression. Modulation of this pathway may be a therapeutic target for viral-induced exacerbations of COPD.

The structural basis of 5' triphosphate double-stranded RNA recognition by RIG-I C-terminal domain.

Project description:RIG-I is a cytosolic sensor of viral RNA that plays crucial roles in the induction of type I interferons. The C-terminal domain (CTD) of RIG-I is responsible for the recognition of viral RNA with 5' triphosphate (ppp). However, the mechanism of viral RNA recognition by RIG-I is still not fully understood. Here, we show that RIG-I CTD binds 5' ppp dsRNA or ssRNA, as well as blunt-ended dsRNA, and exhibits the highest affinity for 5' ppp dsRNA. Crystal structures of RIG-I CTD bound to 5' ppp dsRNA with GC- and AU-rich sequences revealed that RIG-I recognizes the termini of the dsRNA and interacts with the 5' ppp through extensive electrostatic interactions. Mutagenesis and RNA-binding studies demonstrated that similar binding surfaces are involved in the recognition of different forms of RNA. Mutations of key residues at the RNA-binding surface affected RIG-I signaling in cells.

Double-stranded DNA and double-stranded RNA induce a common antiviral signaling pathway in human cells.

Project description:Virus infection triggers IFN immune defenses in infected cells in part through viral nucleic acid interactions, but the pathways by which dsDNA and DNA viruses trigger innate defenses are only partially understood. Here we present evidence that both retinoic acid-induced gene I (RIG-I) and mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) are required for dsDNA-induced IFN-beta promoter activation in a human hepatoma cell line (Huh-7), and that activation is efficiently blocked by the hepatitis C virus NS3/4A protease, which is known to block dsRNA signaling by cleaving MAVS. These findings suggest that dsDNA and dsRNA share a common pathway to trigger the innate antiviral defense response in human cells, although dsDNA appears to trigger that pathway upstream of the dsRNA-interacting protein RIG-I.

Structural basis for recognition of the AGNN tetraloop RNA fold by the double-stranded RNA-binding domain of Rnt1p RNase III.

Project description:Specific recognition of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) by dsRNA-binding domains (dsRBDs) is involved in a large number of biological and regulatory processes. Although structures of dsRBDs in complex with dsRNA have revealed how they can bind to dsRNA in general, these do not explain how a dsRBD can recognize specific RNAs. Rnt1p, a member of the RNase III family of dsRNA endonucleases, is a key component of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNA-processing machinery. The Rnt1p dsRBD has been implicated in targeting this endonuclease to its RNA substrates, by recognizing hairpins closed by AGNN tetraloops. We report the solution structure of Rnt1p dsRBD complexed to the 5' terminal hairpin of one of its small nucleolar RNA substrates, the snR47 precursor. The conserved AGNN tetraloop fold is retained in the protein-RNA complex. The dsRBD contacts the RNA at successive minor, major, and tetraloop minor grooves on one face of the helix. Surprisingly, neither the universally conserved G nor the highly conserved A are recognized by specific hydrogen bonds to the bases. Rather, the N-terminal helix fits snugly into the minor groove of the RNA tetraloop and top of the stem, interacting in a non-sequence-specific manner with the sugar-phosphate backbone and the two nonconserved tetraloop bases. Mutational analysis of residues that contact the tetraloop region show that they are functionally important for RNA processing in the context of the entire protein in vivo. These results show how a single dsRBD can convey specificity for particular RNA targets, by structure specific recognition of a conserved tetraloop fold.

Double-stranded RNA released from damaged articular chondrocytes promotes cartilage degeneration via Toll-like receptor 3-interleukin-33 pathway.

Project description:Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), are involved in arthritic responses; however, whether interleukin-33 (IL-33) is involved in TLR3-mediated cartilage degeneration is unknown. Here, we found that IL-33 was abundantly increased in chondrocytes of osteoarthritis, especially the chondrocytes of weight-bearing cartilage. Furthermore, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) released from damaged articular chondrocytes induced by mechanical stretching upregulated IL-33 expression to a greater degree than IL-1? and tumor necrosis factor-?. dsRNA induced IL-33 expression via the TLR3-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase-nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) pathway. In addition, formation of the p65 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-? transcriptional complex was required for dsRNA-induced IL-33 expression. IL-33, in turn, acted on chondrocytes to induce matrix metalloproteinase-1/13 and inhibit type II collagen expression. These findings reveal that dsRNA released from damaged articular chondrocytes promotes cartilage degeneration via the TLR3-IL-33 pathway.
