Project description:RNA virus infection is recognized by the RIG-I family of receptors that activate the mitochondrial adaptor MAVS, leading to the clearance of viruses. Antiviral signalling activation requires strict modulation to avoid damage to the host from exacerbated inflammation. Insulin receptor tyrosine kinase substrate (IRTKS) participates in actin bundling and insulin signalling and its deficiency causes insulin resistance. However, whether IRTKS is involved in the regulation of innate immunity remains elusive. Here we show that IRTKS deficiency causes enhanced innate immune responses against RNA viruses. IRTKS-mediated suppression of antiviral responses depends on the RIG-I-MAVS signalling pathway. IRTKS recruits the E2 ligase Ubc9 to sumoylate PCBP2 in the nucleus, which causes its cytoplasmic translocation during viral infection. The sumoylated PCBP2 associates with MAVS to initiate its degradation, leading to downregulation of antiviral responses. Thus, IRTKS functions as a negative modulator of excessive inflammation.

Project description:Mediator of IRF3 activation (MITA, also named as STING/ERIS/MPYS/TMEM173), is essential to DNA virus- or cytosolic DNA-triggered innate immune responses. In this study, we demonstrated the negative regulatory role of RING-finger protein (RNF) 90 in innate immune responses targeting MITA. RNF90 promoted K48-linked ubiquitination of MITA and its proteasome-dependent degradation. Overexpression of RNF90 inhibited HSV-1- or cytosolic DNA-induced immune responses whereas RNF90 knockdown had the opposite effects. Moreover, RNF90-deficient bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs), bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) exhibited increased DNA virus- or cytosolic DNA-triggered signaling and RNF90 deficiency protected mice from DNA virus infection. Taken together, our findings suggested a novel function of RNF90 in innate immunity.

Project description:Innate immunity plays an essential role in preventing the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. However, innate immunity is a double-edged sword, whose excessive activation is detrimental to immune homeostasis and even leads to a “cytokine storm” of the infected host. The host develops a series of negative regulatory mechanisms to balance the immune response. Here, we report a negative regulatory mechanism of chicken innate immunity mediated by miRNA. In the GEO database, we found that miR-126-5p was markedly up-regulated in chickens infected by RNA viruses. Upregulation of miR-126-5p by RNA virus was then further shown via both a cell model and in vivo tests. Overexpression of miR-126-5p significantly inhibited the expression of interferon and inflammatory cytokine-related genes induced by RNA viruses. The opposite result was achieved after the knockdown of miR-126-5p expression. Bioinformatics analysis identified TRAF3 as candidate target gene of miR-126-5p. Experimentally, miR-126-5p can target TRAF3, as shown by the effects of miR-126-5p on the endogenous expression of TRAF3, and by the TRAF3 3'UTR driven luciferase reporter assay. Furthermore, we demonstrated that miR-126-5p negatively regulated innate immunity by blocking the MAVS-TRAF3-TBK1 axis, with a co-expression assay. Overall, our results suggest that miR-126-5p is involved in the negative regulation of chicken innate immunity, which might contribute to maintaining immune balance.

Project description:Chronic neuroinflammation is a characteristic of Parkinson's disease (PD). Previous investigations have shown that Parkin gene mutations are related to the early-onset recessive form of PD and isolated juvenile-onset PD. Further, Parkin plays important roles in mitochondrial quality control and cytokine-induced cell death. However, whether Parkin regulates other cellular events is still largely unknown. In this study, we performed overexpression and knockout experiments and found that Parkin negatively regulates antiviral immune responses against RNA and DNA viruses. Mechanistically, we show that Parkin interacts with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 3 (TRAF3) to regulate stability of TRAF3 protein by promoting Lys48-linked ubiquitination. Our findings suggest that Parkin plays a novel role in innate immune signaling by targeting TRAF3 for degradation and maintaining the balance of innate antiviral immunity.

Project description:The retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs), including RIG-I and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5), sense cytoplasmic viral RNA and initiate innate antiviral responses. How RIG-I and MDA5 are differentially regulated remains enigmatic. In this study, we identified the guanylate-binding protein (GBP) and zinc-finger FYVE domain-containing protein ZFYVE1 as a negative regulator of MDA5- but not RIG-I-mediated innate antiviral responses. ZFYVE1-deficiency promoted MDA5- but not RIG-I-mediated transcription of downstream antiviral genes. Comparing to wild-type mice, Zfyve1-/- mice were significantly protected from lethality induced by encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) that is sensed by MDA5, whereas Zfyve1-/- and Zfyve1+/+ mice were comparable to death induced by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) that is sensed by RIG-I. Mechanistically, ZFYVE1 interacted with MDA5 but not RIG-I. ZFYVE1 bound to viral RNA and decreased the ligand binding and oligomerization of MDA5. These findings suggest that ZFYVE1 acts as a specific negative regulator of MDA5-mediated innate immune responses by inhibiting its ligand binding and oligomerization.

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.

Project description:Stringent control of type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling is critical to potent innate immune responses against viral infection, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms are still elusive. Here, we found that Van Gogh-like 2 (VANGL2) acts as an IFN-inducible negative feedback regulator to suppress IFN-I signaling during vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection. Mechanistically, VANGL2 interacted with TBK1 and promoted the selective autophagic degradation of TBK1 via K48-linked polyubiquitination at Lys372 by the E3 ligase TRIP, which serves as a recognition signal for the cargo receptor OPTN. Furthermore, myeloid-specific deletion of VANGL2 in mice showed enhanced IFN-I production against VSV infection and improved survival. In general, these findings revealed a negative feedback loop of IFN-I signaling through the VANGL2-TRIP-TBK1-OPTN axis and highlighted the cross-talk between IFN-I and autophagy in preventing viral infection. VANGL2 could be a potential clinical therapeutic target for viral infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

Project description:Innate immune system is armed by several lines of pattern recognition receptors to sense various viral infection and to initiate antiviral immune response. This process is under a tight control and the negative feedback induced by infection and/or inflammation is critical to maintain immune homoeostasis and to prevent autoimmune disorders, however, the molecular mechanism is not fully understood. Here we report TRIM29, a ubiquitin E3 ligase, functions as an inducible negative regulator of innate immune response triggered by DNA virus and cytosolic DNA. DNA virus and cytosolic DNA stimulation induce TRIM29 expression robustly in macrophages and dendritic cells, although the basal level of TRIM29 is undetectable in those cells. TRIM29 deficiency elevates IFN-I and proinflammatory cytokine production upon viral DNA and cytosolic dsDNA stimulation. Consistently, in vivo experiments show that TRIM29-deficient mice are more resistant to HSV-1 infection than WT controls, indicated by better survival rate and reduced viral load in organs. Mechanism studies suggest that STING-TBK1-IRF3 signaling pathway in TRIM29 KO cells is significantly enhanced and the degradation of STING is impaired. Furthermore, we identify that TRIM29 targets STING for K48 ubiquitination and degradation. This study reveals TRIM29 as a crucial negative regulator in immune response to DNA virus and cytosolic DNA, preventing potential damage caused by overcommitted immune responses.

Project description:Excessive nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) activation mediated by tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF?) plays a critical role in inflammation. Here we demonstrate that angiopoietin-like 8 (ANGPTL8) functions as a negative feedback regulator in TNF?-triggered NF-?B activation intracellularly. Inflammatory stimuli induce ANGPTL8 expression, and knockdown or knockout of ANGPTL8 potentiates TNF?-induced NF-?B activation in vitro. Mechanistically, upon TNF? stimulation, ANGPTL8 facilitates the interaction of IKK? with p62 via forming a complex, thus promoting the selective autophagic degradation of IKK?. Furthermore, the N-terminal domain mediated self-oligomerization of ANGPTL8 is essential for IKK? degradation and NF-?B activation. In vivo, circulating ANGPTL8 level is high in patients diagnosed with infectious diseases, and the ANGPTL8/p62-IKK? axis is responsive to inflammatory stimuli in the liver of LPS-injected mice. Altogether, our study suggests the ANGPTL8/p62-IKK? axis as a negative feedback loop that regulates NF-?B activation, and extends the role of selective autophagy in fine-tuned inflammatory responses.

Project description:The innate immune response is a host defense mechanism against infection by viruses and bacteria. Type I interferons (IFN?/?) play a crucial role in innate immunity. If not tightly regulated under normal conditions and during immune responses, IFN production can become aberrant, leading to inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In this study, we identified TRIM11 (tripartite motif containing 11) as a novel negative regulator of IFN? production. Ectopic expression of TRIM11 decreased IFN? promoter activity induced by poly (I:C) stimulation or overexpression of RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible gene-I) signaling cascade components RIG-IN (constitutively active form of RIG-I), MAVS (mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein), or TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase-1). Conversely, TRIM11 knockdown enhanced IFN? promoter activity induced by these stimuli. Moreover, TRIM11 overexpression inhibited the phosphorylation and dimerization of IRF3 and expression of IFN? mRNA. By contrast, TRIM11 knockdown increased the IRF3 phosphorylation and IFN? mRNA expression. We also found that TRIM11 and TBK1, a key kinase that phosphorylates IRF3 in the RIG-I pathway, interacted with each other through CC and CC2 domain, respectively. This interaction was enhanced in the presence of the TBK1 adaptor proteins, NAP1 (NF-?B activating kinase-associated protein-1), SINTBAD (similar to NAP1 TBK1 adaptor) or TANK (TRAF family member-associated NF-?B activator). Consistent with its inhibitory role in RIG-I-mediated IFN? signaling, TRIM11 overexpression enhanced viral infectivity, whereas TRIM11 knockdown produced the opposite effect. Collectively, our results suggest that TRIM11 inhibits RIG-I-mediated IFN? production by targeting the TBK1 signaling complex.
