Viral infection causes activation of transcription factors NF-kappaB and IRF3, which collaborate to induce type I interferons (IFNs) and cellular antiviral response. Here we show that knockdown of the E3 ubiquitin ligases cIAP1 and cIAP2 markedly inhibited virus-triggered activation of IRF3 and NF-kappaB as well as IFN-beta induction. Knockdown of cIAP1 and cIAP2 also inhibited cytoplasmic dsRNA-triggered cellular antiviral response. Endogenous coimmunoprecipitation experiments indicated that viral infection caused recruitment of cIAP1 and cIAP2 to TRAF3, TRAF6, and VISA. Furthermore, we demonstrated that cIAP1- and cIAP2-mediated virus-triggered ubiquitination of TRAF3 and TRAF6. These findings suggest that virus-triggered ubiquitination of TRAF3 and TRAF6 by cIAP1 and cIAP2 is essential for type I IFN induction and cellular antiviral response.
病毒感染会导致转录因子 NF-κB 和 IRF3 的激活,它们共同诱导 I 型干扰素 (IFN) 和细胞抗病毒反应。在这里,我们表明,E3 泛素连接酶 cIAP1 和 cIAP2 的敲低显著抑制了病毒触发的 IRF3 和 NF-κB 的激活以及 IFN-β的诱导。cIAP1 和 cIAP2 的敲低也抑制了细胞质 dsRNA 触发的细胞抗病毒反应。内源性共免疫沉淀实验表明,病毒感染导致 cIAP1 和 cIAP2 募集到 TRAF3、TRAF6 和 VISA。此外,我们证明了 cIAP1 和 cIAP2 介导的病毒触发的 TRAF3 和 TRAF6 的泛素化。这些发现表明,cIAP1 和 cIAP2 触发的 TRAF3 和 TRAF6 的泛素化对于 I 型 IFN 的诱导和细胞抗病毒反应至关重要。
