Project description:Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains across different life kingdoms possess NADase activities and produce distinct small molecules including phosphoribosyl adenosine monophosphate/diphosphate (pRib-AMP/ADP) and two cyclic ADPR (cADPR) isomers 2’cADPR and 3’cADPR. Plant intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors with an N-terminal TIR domain sense pathogen effectors to initiate immune signaling and rely on downstream helper NLRs to execute immune function. Lipase-like proteins EDS1 and PAD4 transduce immune signals from sensor TIR-NLRs to a helper NLR called ADR1. We report the structure and function of Arabidopsis EDS1-PAD4-ADR1 (EPA) heterotrimer in complex with pRib-AMP/ADP activated by plant or bacterial TIR signaling. Bacterial TIRs that produce 2’cADPR, but not 3’cADPR, induce EPA complex formation and activate EPA signaling using pRib-AMP as the signaling molecule. 2’cADPR is hydrolyzed into pRib-AMP in vivo. 2’cADPR, but not 3’cADPR, induces EPA-dependent defense genes expression. Our findings shed light on the activation mechanisms of ADR1 by EDS1-PAD4 involving two structurally-related molecules with 2’cADPR likely being the storage form of the unstable signaling molecule pRib-AMP, as well as cross-talks between plant and bacterial TIR immune signaling.

Project description:Innate immunity in bacteria, plants and animals requires the specialized subset of TIR-domain proteins that are NAD+ hydrolases. Aggregation of these TIR proteins engages their enzymatic activity, but it is not known how this protein multimerization is regulated. Here, we discovered that TIR oligomerization is exquisitely controlled to prevent immune toxicity. We found that p38 propagates its own activation by promoting the feedforward expression and aggregation of the lone enzymatic TIR protein in the nematode C. elegans, TIR-1/SARM1. We performed a forward genetic screen to determine how the p38 positive feedforward loop is regulated. We discovered that the integrity of the specific lysosomal sub-compartment that expresses TIR-1/SARM1 is actively maintained to limit inappropriate aggregation of this protein and restrain toxic p38 immune activation. Thus, innate immune defenses in intestinal epithelial cells are regulated by specific control of TIR-1/SARM1 multimerization.

Project description:Plant disease resistance involves both detection of microbial molecular patterns by cell-surface pattern recognition receptors and detection of pathogen effectors by intracellular NLR immune receptors. NLRs are classified as sensor NLRs, involved in effector detection, or helper NLRs required for sensor NLR signaling. TIR-domain-containing sensor NLRs (TNLs) require helper NLRs NRG1 and ADR1 for resistance, and helper NLR activation of defense requires the lipase-domain proteins EDS1, SAG101, and PAD4. Previously, we found that NRG1 associates with EDS1 and SAG101 in a TNL activation-dependent manner [X. Sun et al., Nat. Commun. 12, 3335 (2021)]. We report here how the helper NLR NRG1 associates with itself and with EDS1 and SAG101 during TNL-initiated immunity. Full immunity requires coactivation and mutual potentiation of cell-surface and intracellular immune receptor-initiated signaling [B. P. M. Ngou, H.-K. Ahn, P. Ding, J. D. G. Jones, Nature 592, 110-115 (2021), M. Yuan et al., Nature 592, 105-109 (2021)]. We find that while activation of TNLs is sufficient to promote NRG1-EDS1-SAG101 interaction, the formation of an oligomeric NRG1-EDS1-SAG101 resistosome requires the additional coactivation of cell-surface receptor-initiated defense. These data suggest that NRG1-EDS1-SAG101 resistosome formation in vivo is part of the mechanism that links intracellular and cell-surface receptor signaling pathways.

Project description:Clustering of the Enteropathogenic (EPEC) Escherichia coli Tir effector, induced by its binding to Intimin, leads to pyroptotic cell death in macrophages. The effect of Tir clustering following EPEC infection of epithelial cells remains unexplored. In this study, we show that EPEC induces pyroptosis in an intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) line, in a Tir-dependent but actin polymerisation-independent manner, which was enhanced by priming with IFNγ. Mechanistically, Tir clustering induces rapid Ca2+ influx, which promotes internalisation of LPS, followed by activation of caspase-4. Chelation of extracellular Ca2+ or knockdown of caspase-4 inhibited cell death upon EPEC infection, whereas ATP-induced extracellular Ca2+ influx had the opposite effect confirming the regulatory role of calcium in the pathway. Additionally, IEC lines with low endogenous expression of caspase-4 were resistant to EPEC-induced cell death. We reveal a novel mechanism of LPS internalisation, following infection with an extracellular pathogen, leading to pyroptosis in IECs.

Project description:Among the diseases caused by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) abnormal activation by bacterial endotoxin, sepsis is the most dangerous one. The reprogramming of macrophages plays a crucial role in orchestrating the pathogenesis of sepsis. However, the precise mechanism underlying TLR4 activation in macrophages remained incompletely understood. Our studies revealed that upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, CREB-binding protein (CBP) was recruited to the TLR4 signalosome complex and resulted in pronounced acetylation in the TIR domains of TLR4, Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and MyD88 adapter-like (MAL), which significantly enhanced the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and polarization of M1 macrophages. In sepsis patients, significantly elevated TLR4-TIR acetylation was detected in CD16+ monocytes combined with elevated expression of M1 macrophage markers and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In contrast, histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) served as a key deacetylase in the deacetylation of the TIR domain complex. The inhibition of HDAC1 accelerated sepsis-associated syndromes, while the inhibition of CBP alleviated this process. Overall, our findings highlighted the crucial role of TIR domain complex acetylation in the regulation of inflammatory immune response and suggested that the reversible acetylation of the complex emerged as a promising therapeutic target for M1 macrophages during the progression of sepsis.

Project description:Programmed cell suicide of infected bacteria, known as abortive infection (Abi), serves as a central immune defense strategy to prevent the spread of bacteriophage viruses and other invasive genetic elements across a population. Many Abi systems utilize bespoke cyclic nucleotide immune messengers generated upon infection to rapidly mobilize cognate death effectors. Here, we identify a large family of bacteriophage nucleotidyltransferases (NTases) which synthesize competitor cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) ligands and inhibit NAD-depleting TIR effectors activated through a linked STING CDN sensor domain (TIR-STING). Through a functional screen of NTase-adjacent phage genes, we uncover candidate inhibitors of host TIR-STING suicide signaling. Among these, we demonstrate that a virus MazG-like nucleotide pyrophosphatase, Atd1, depletes the starvation alarmone (p)ppGpp, revealing a role for the alarmone-activated host toxin MazF as a key executioner of TIR-driven abortive infection. Phage NTases and counter-defenses like Atd1 preserve host viability to ensure virus propagation, and may be exploited as tools to modulate TIR and STING immune responses.

Project description:Intracellular signaling regulators are concentrated into membrane-free, higher-ordered protein assemblies to initiate protective responses during stress — a process known as phase transition. Here, we show that a phase transition of the C. elegans Toll/interleukin-1 receptor domain protein (TIR-1), a homolog of the mammalian sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing 1 (SARM1), primes host immune defenses when dietary sterols are limited to handle subsequent bacterial infection. TIR-1/SARM1 is an upstream component of the p38 PMK-1 pathway in intestinal cells, an innate immune defense and stress response pathway in metazoans. Under conditions of low cholesterol availability, multimerization and precipitation of TIR-1/SARM1 potentiates the intrinsic NAD+ glycohydrolase activity of this protein complex, increases p38 PMK-1 phosphorylation, and promotes pathogen clearance from the intestine. Dietary cholesterol is required for C. elegans to survive infection with pathogenic bacteria and to support development, fecundity, and lifespan. Thus, activation of the p38 PMK-1 pathway in sterol-deficient animals is an adaptive response that allows a metazoan host to anticipate environmental threats under conditions of essential metabolite scarcity.
