LTN1 promotes RLR degradation to inhibit immune response to RNA virus through the ESCRT pathway.

ABSTRACT: The excessive activation of immune responses will trigger autoimmune diseases or inflammatory injury. The endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) system can capture and mediate ubiquitinated protein degradation, which timely terminates signaling pathway hyperactivation. However, whether the ESCRT system participates in regulating RIGI-like receptor (RLR)-mediated antiviral responses remains unknown. In this study, we show that LTN1/listerin, a major component of RQC, can recruit E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM27 to trigger K63-linked polyubiquitination of RIGI and IFIH1/MDA5. This K63-linked polyubiquitination facilitates the sorting and degradation of RIGI and IFIH1 proteins through the ESCRT-dependent pathway. Concordantly, LTN1 deficiency enhances the innate antiviral respon
