ABIN-1 heterozygosity sensitizes to innate immune response in both RIPK1-dependent and RIPK1-independent manner.

ABSTRACT: ABIN-1 (encoded by the gene Tnip1) is a ubiquitin-binding protein that can interact with ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 (encoded by the gene TNFAIP3) to restrain the activation of necroptosis and NF-κB activation. Genetic variants in the genes Tnip1 and TNFAIP3 are both strongly associated with susceptibility to autoimmune chronic inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis vulgaris and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in humans. Here we investigated the mechanism by which ABIN-1 regulated innate immune responses. We show that ABIN-1 heterozygosity sensitizes cells to antiviral response by mediating NF-κB-dependent and RIPK1-independent expression of pattern recognition molecules, including TLR3, RIG-I, and MDA5, in MEFs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that increased interaction of ABIN-1 and A20
