Project description:RIG-I like receptors (RLRs) are the major viral RNA sensors essential for the initiation of antiviral immune responses to numerous RNA viruses. RLRs are subjected to stringent transcriptional and posttranslational regulations, of which ubiquitination is one of the most important. However, the role of ubiquitination in RLR transcription is unknown. Here, we generated, screened 375 definite ubiquitin ligase knockout cell lines and identified UBR5 as a positive regulator of RLR transcription. UBR5 deficiency (UBR5-/-) reduced antiviral immune responses to RNA viruses, while increased viral replication in primary cells and mice. Ubr5-/- mice were more susceptible to lethal RNA virus infection than Ubr5+/+ littermates. Mechanistically, UBR5 mediated the Lysine 63-linked ubiquitination of TRIM28, an epigenetic repressor of RLRs. This modification prevented intramolecular SUMOylation of TRIM28, thus disengaged the TRIM28-imposed brake on RLR transcription. In sum, UBR5 enables rapid upregulation of RLR expression to boost antiviral immune responses by ubiquitinating and de-SUMOylating TRIM28.

Project description:The RIG-I like receptors (RLRs) RIG-I and MDA5 are cytosolic RNA helicases best characterized as restriction factors for RNA viruses. However, evidence suggests RLRs participate in innate immune recognition of other pathogens, including DNA viruses. Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a human gammaherpesvirus and the etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). We demonstrate that RIG-I and MDA5 restrict KSHV lytic reactivation in PEL. By performing fRIP-Seq, we define the in vivo RLR substrates and demonstrate that RIG-I and MDA5-mediated restriction is facilitated exclusively by the recognition of host-derived RNAs.

Project description:The RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) form filaments to activate type-I interferon (IFN-I) and NF-KB signaling through their adaptor protein MAVS and downstream cascades. These filaments are recognized and regulated by cell-encoded machinery for correct activation. Here, we identified the stress-sensitive heat shock protein, HSPA6, was induced to express upon RLR-MAVS activation to act as a negative regulator of IFN-I signaling. Interestingly, by using MAVS-KO cells, we showed that HSPA6 was upregulated dependent on the presence of IFN-competent RLRs but not MAVS. Gene knockout (KO) tests indicated that the E3 ligases, stress granules (SGs), and transcription factors IRF1 and AP1 were all shared to induce HSPA6 and the canonical IFNb. Kinetic analysis showed that HSPA6 upregulated slower than IFNb, implicating these two genes competed machinery for transcription activation. Further tests suggested the induced HSPA6 bound to IFN-competent MDA5 to dissolve the filaments and downregulated IFN induction. Thus, our study uncovered a new gene activation mechanism by the IFN-competent RLRs to serve as negative feedback, arguing for a gene regulatory role of functional filaments of innate immunity.

Project description:The study shows that RLRs drive distinct immune gene activation and polarization of the immune response. In our data, the RLR-dependent, WNV-induced immune response polarization overshadows the classical drivers of viral innate immune responses, interferon I (IFN) and IFN-stimulated genes, thus underscoring the importance of innate immune activation for channeling the adaptive immune system into specific effector pathways

Project description:Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) protect against microbial invasion by detecting specific molecular patterns found in pathogens and initiating an immune response. While microbial-derived PRR ligands have been extensively characterized, the contribution and relevance of endogenous ligands to PRR activation remains overlooked. Here, we characterize the landscape of endogenous ligands that engage RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) upon infection by different RNA viruses. In each infection, several RNAs transcribed by RNA polymerase III (Pol3) specifically engaged RLRs, particularly the family of Y RNAs. Sensing of Y RNAs was dependent on their mimicking of viral secondary structure and their 5’-triphosphate extremity. Further, we found that HIV-1 triggered a VPR-dependent downregulation of RNA triphosphatase DUSP11 in vitro and in vivo, inducing a transcriptome-wide change of cellular RNA 5’-triphosphorylation that licenses Y RNA immunogenicity. Overall, our work uncovers the contribution of endogenous RNAs to antiviral immunity and demonstrates the importance of this pathway in HIV-1 infection.

Project description:Proper defense against microbial infection depends on the controlled activation of the immune system. This is particularly important for the innate immune receptors that recognize viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and initiate antiviral immune responses with the potential of triggering systemic inflammation and immunopathology. How the functions of the dsRNA receptors and their downstream effector molecules are coordinately regulated to avoid excessive immune response is poorly understood. We here demonstrate that stress granules (SGs), biomolecular condensates that form in response to various stresses including viral dsRNA, play key roles in regulating dsRNA-triggered immune response. Upon dsRNA stimulation, SGs recruit many innate immune molecules, including RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), protein kinase R (PKR) and oligoadenylate synthases (OASes), target these molecules and dsRNA for autophagy and limit their functions through sequestration. In the absence of SGs, dsRNA stimulation results in hyperactivation of inflammatory signaling pathways, global translational arrest and bulk RNA degradation, altogether compromising the cellular capacity to restore homeostasis and triggering cell death. In contrast to most dsRNA-induced immune signaling pathways that are hyperactivated in the absence of SGs, a sub-branch of the RLR pathway (IRF3-dependent type I interferon signaling) shows time-dependent changes, where the initial spike in signaling is followed by a significant drop due to increased caspase-dependent negative feedback regulation. This highlights the role of SGs in regulating the delicate balance between the type I interferon pathway and cell death. Altogether, our data suggest that cells utilize SGs as shock absorbers to moderate antiviral innate immune response, thereby allowing cells to guard against its own immune system as well as viruses.

Project description:Defense against virus infections relies on rapid and massive engagement of cellular proteins with antiviral properties. Germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) sense the presence of pathogens and initiate a signaling cascade leading to the induction of antiviral cytokines, including type-I interferons. IFN-alpha/beta bind to the IFN receptor (IFNAR), initiating signaling that culminates in the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). In sum, viral infection triggers the expression of several hundred proteins covering a wide range of biological activities. Among these proteins are PRRs (e.g. RIG-I, MDA5, TLRs), signaling molecules (e.g. MYD88, MAVS), transcription factors (e.g. IRFs, STATs) and proteins with direct antiviral functions (e.g. MX proteins, IFITs), as well as negative regulators of immune responses (e.g. SOCS proteins, DAPK1) that prevent overshooting of immune reactions. ISGs are thus a heterogeneous group of proteins that serve different purposes related to direct antiviral defense and immune regulation.

Project description:RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) are involved in the discrimination of self vs non-self via the recognition of dsRNA. Emerging evidence suggests that immunostimulatory dsRNAs are ubiquitously expressed yet they are disrupted or sequestered by cellular RNA binding proteins (RBPs). TDP-43 is an RBP associated with multiple neurological disorders and is essential for cell viability. Here, we demonstrate that TDP-43 regulates the accumulation of immunostimulatory dsRNA. The immunostimulatory RNA was identified as RNA Polymerase III transcripts, including 7SL and Alu retrotransposons, and we demonstrate that the RNA binding activity of TDP-43 is required to prevent immune stimulation. The dsRNAs activate a RIG-I-dependent interferon response which promotes necroptosis. Genetic inactivation of the RLR-pathway rescues the interferon-mediated cell-death associated with loss of TDP-43. Collectively, our study describes a role for TDP-43 in preventing the accumulation of endogenous immunostimulatory dsRNAs and uncovers an intricate relationship between the control of cellular gene expression and IFN-mediated cell-death.
