Ancestral allele of DNA polymerase gamma modifies antiviral tolerance


ABSTRACT: Mitochondria are arising as critical modulators of antiviral tolerance by releasing mtDNA/mtRNA fragments to cytoplasm upon infection, activating virus sensors and type-I interferon response. The relevance of these mechanisms for mitochondrial diseases remains understudied. Here, we investigated mitochondrial recessive ataxia syndrome (MIRAS), caused by a common European founder mutation in DNA polymerase gamma (POLG1). The patients homozygous for the MIRAS variant p.W748S show exceptionally variable ages-of-onset and symptoms, indicating unknown modifying factors contributing to disease manifestation. We report that the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replicase POLG1 has a role in antiviral defence mechanisms to double-stranded DNA and positive-strand RNA virus infections (HSV-1, TBEV, SARS-CoV-2) and its p.W748S variant dampens innate immune responses. Our patient and knock-in mouse data show that p.W748S compromises mtDNA replisome stability, causing mtDNA depletion, aggravated by virus infection. Low mtDNA and mtRNA release to cytoplasm and slow interferon response in MIRAS allow an early replicative advantage for viruses, leading to augmented pro-inflammatory response, subacute loss of GABAergic neurons, liver inflammation and necrosis. A population databank of ~300,000 Finns demonstrates enrichment of immunodeficient traits in p.W748S carriers. Our evidence suggests that POLG1 defects compromise antiviral tolerance, triggering epilepsy and liver disease. The finding has important implications to mitochondrial disease spectrum, including epilepsy, ataxia, and parkinsonism.
