Viral infection induces numerous tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins to control antiviral immune signaling and viral replication. Particularly, SPRY-containing TRIM proteins are found only in vertebrates and they control target protein degradation by their RING-finger and SPRY domains, and proper cytoplasmic localization. To understand TRIM30 function, we analyzed its localization pattern and putative roles of its RING-finger and SPRY domains. We found that TRIM30 is located in actin-mediated cytoplasmic bodies and produces colocalized ubiquitin chains in SPRY domain- and RING-finger domain-dependent ways that are degraded by autophagy and the proteasome. These results suggest a TRIM protein-dependent degradation mechanism by cytoplasmic body formation with actin networks.
病毒感染诱导大量三肽基重复序列(TRIM)蛋白来控制抗病毒免疫信号和病毒复制。特别是,含有 SPRY 结构域的 TRIM 蛋白仅存在于脊椎动物中,它们通过其 RING 指结构域和 SPRY 结构域以及适当的细胞质定位来控制靶蛋白的降解。为了了解 TRIM30 的功能,我们分析了其定位模式及其 RING 指结构域和 SPRY 结构域的可能作用。我们发现,TRIM30 位于肌动蛋白介导的细胞质体内,并以依赖于 SPRY 结构域和 RING 指结构域的方式产生共定位的泛素链,这些泛素链通过自噬和蛋白酶体降解。这些结果表明,通过形成与肌动蛋白网络的细胞质体,存在一种依赖于 TRIM 蛋白的降解机制。
