Histone deacetylase 3 promotes innate antiviral immunity through deacetylation of TBK1.

ABSTRACT: TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), a core kinase of antiviral pathways, activates the production of interferons (IFNs). It has been reported that deacetylation activates TBK1; however, the precise mechanism still remains to be uncovered. We show here that during the early stage of viral infection, the acetylation of TBK1 was increased, and the acetylation of TBK1 at Lys241 enhanced the recruitment of IRF3 to TBK1. HDAC3 directly deacetylated TBK1 at Lys241 and Lys692, which resulted in the activation of TBK1. Deacetylation at Lys241 and Lys692 was critical for the kinase activity and dimerization of TBK1 respectively. Using knockout cell lines and transgenic mice, we confirmed that a HDAC3 null mutant exhibited enhanced susceptibility to viral challenge via impaired production of type I IFNs. Furthermore, activated TBK1 phosphorylated HDAC3, which promoted the deacetylation activity of HDAC3 and formed a feedback loop. In this study, we illustrated the roles the acetylated and deacetylated forms of TBK1 play in antiviral innate responses and clarified the post-translational modulations involved in the interaction between TBK1 and HDAC3.

Project description:Iridoviruses are large DNA viruses which cause great economic losses to the aquaculture industry and serious threats to ecological diversity worldwide. Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV), a novel member of the genus Ranavirus, causes high mortality in grouper aquaculture. Previous work on genome annotation demonstrated that SGIV contained numerous uncharacterized or hypothetical open reading frames (ORFs), whose functions remained largely unknown. Here, we reported that the protein encoded by SGIV ORF131R (VP131) was localized predominantly within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Ectopic expression of GFP-VP131 significantly enhanced SGIV replication, while VP131 knockdown decreased viral infection in vitro, suggesting that VP131 functioned as a proviral factor during SGIV infection. Overexpression of GFP-VP131 inhibited the interferon (IFN)-1 promoter activity and mRNA level of IFN-related genes induced by poly(I:C), Epinephelus coioides cyclic GMP/AMP synthase (EccGAS)/stimulator of IFN genes (EcSTING), TANK-binding kinase 1 (EcTBK1), or melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (EcMDA5), whereas such activation induced by mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (EcMAVS) was not affected. Moreover, VP131 interacted with EcSTING and degraded EcSTING through both the autophagy-lysosome pathway and ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and targeted for the K63-linked ubiquitination. Of note, we also found that EcSTING significantly accelerated the formation of GFP-VP131 aggregates in co-transfected cells. Finally, GFP-VP131 inhibited EcSTING- or EcTBK1-induced antiviral activity upon red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) infection. Together, our results demonstrated that the SGIV VP131 negatively regulated the IFN response by inhibiting EcSTING-EcTBK1 signaling for viral evasion. IMPORTANCE STING has been identified as a critical factor participating in the innate immune response which recruits and phosphorylates TBK1 and IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) to induce IFN production and defend against viral infection. However, viruses also distort the STING-TBK1 pathway to negatively regulate the IFN response and facilitate viral replication. Here, we reported that SGIV VP131 interacted with EcSTING within the ER and degraded EcSTING, leading to the suppression of IFN production and the promotion of SGIV infection. These results for the first time demonstrated that fish iridovirus evaded the host antiviral response via abrogating the STING-TBK1 signaling pathway.
