Differential regulation of ATP hydrolysis of RIG-I-like receptors by transactivation response RNA-binding protein.

ABSTRACT: Retinoic acid inducible gene (RIG)-I-like receptors (RLRs), including RIG-I, melanoma differentiation associated-5 (MDA5), and laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 (LGP2), play pivotal roles in viral RNA sensing to initiate antiviral interferon (IFN) responses. We previously reported that an RNA-silencing regulator, transactivation response RNA-binding protein (TRBP), up-regulates MDA5/LGP2-mediated IFN responses through interaction with LGP2. Here, we aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying the TRBP-mediated up-regulation of IFN response. Data indicated that phosphomimetic TRBP showed a modest effect, whereas the nonphosphorylated form exhibited hyperactivity in enhancing Cardiovirus-triggered IFN responses. These results suggest that encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) attenuates
