O-GlcNAc transferase promotes influenza A virus-induced cytokine storm by targeting interferon regulatory factor-5.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we demonstrated an essential function of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP)-associated O-linked ?-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) signaling in influenza A virus (IAV)-induced cytokine storm. O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), a key enzyme for protein O-GlcNAcylation, mediated IAV-induced cytokine production. Upon investigating the mechanisms driving this event, we determined that IAV induced OGT to bind to interferon regulatory factor-5 (IRF5), leading to O-GlcNAcylation of IRF5 on serine-430. O-GlcNAcylation of IRF5 is required for K63-linked ubiquitination of IRF5 and subsequent cytokine production. Analysis of clinical samples revealed that IRF5 is O-GlcNAcylated, and higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines correlated with higher levels of blood glucose in IAV-infected patients. We identified a molecular mechanism by which HBP-mediated O-GlcNAcylation regulates IRF5 function during IAV infection, highlighting the importance of glucose metabolism in IAV-induced cytokine storm.

Project description:The innate immune response is vital for host defense and must be tightly controlled, but the mechanisms responsible for its negative regulation are not fully understood. The cell growth-regulating nucleolar protein LYAR was found to promote replication of multiple viruses in our previous study. Here, we report that LYAR acts as a negative regulator of innate immune responses. We found that LYAR expression is induced by beta interferon (IFN-?) during virus infection. Further studies showed that LYAR interacts with phosphorylated IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) to impede the DNA binding capacity of IRF3, thereby suppressing the transcription of IFN-? and downstream IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). In addition, LYAR inhibits nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B)-mediated expression of proinflammatory cytokines. In summary, our study reveals the mechanism of LYAR in modulating IFN-?-mediated innate immune responses by targeting phosphorylated IRF3, which not only helps us to better understand the mechanisms of LYAR-regulated virus replication but also uncovers a novel role of LYAR in host innate immunity.IMPORTANCE Type I interferon (IFN-I) plays a critical role in the antiviral innate immune responses that protect the host against virus infection. The negative regulators of IFN-I are important not only for fine-tuning the antiviral responses to pathogens but also for preventing excessive inflammation. Identification of negative regulators and study of their modulation in innate immune responses will lead to new strategies for the control of both viral and inflammatory diseases. Here, we report for the first time that the cell growth-regulating nucleolar protein LYAR behaves as a repressor of host innate immune responses. We demonstrate that LYAR negatively regulates IFN-?-mediated immune responses by inhibiting the DNA binding ability of IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). Our study reveals a common mechanism of LYAR in promoting different virus replication events and improves our knowledge of host negative regulation of innate immune responses.
