Activation of various C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) initiates potent proinflammatory responses against various microbial infections. However, how activated CLRs are negatively regulated remains unknown. In this study, we report that activation of CLRs Dectin-2 and Dectin-3 by fungi infections triggers them for ubiquitination and degradation in a Syk-dependent manner. Furthermore, we found that E3 ubiquitin ligase Casitas B-lineage lymphoma protein b (Cbl-b) mediates the ubiquitination of these activated CLRs through associating with each other via adapter protein FcR-γ and tyrosine kinase Syk, and then the ubiquitinated CLRs are sorted into lysosomes for degradation by an endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) system. Therefore, the deficiency of either Cbl-b or ESCRT subunits significantly decreases the degradation of activated CLRs, thereby resulting in the higher expression of proinflammatory cytokines and inflammation. Consistently, Cbl-b-deficient mice are more resistant to fungi infections compared with wild-type controls. Together, our study indicates that Cbl-b negatively regulates CLR-mediated antifungal innate immunity, which provides molecular insight for designing antifungal therapeutic agents.
多种C型凝集素受体(CLR)的激活引发针对各种微生物感染的强烈促炎反应。然而,激活的CLR如何被负调控仍不清楚。在本研究中,我们报道真菌感染激活CLR Dectin-2和Dectin-3会以Syk依赖的方式促使它们发生泛素化和降解。此外,我们发现E3泛素连接酶Casitas B系淋巴瘤蛋白b(Cbl-b)通过衔接蛋白FcR-γ和酪氨酸激酶Syk相互结合介导这些激活的CLR的泛素化,然后泛素化的CLR被分选到溶酶体中,通过转运所需的内体分选复合物(ESCRT)系统进行降解。因此,Cbl-b或ESCRT亚基的缺陷显著降低激活的CLR的降解,从而导致促炎细胞因子的更高表达和炎症。一致地,与野生型对照相比,Cbl-b缺陷小鼠对真菌感染更具抵抗力。总之,我们的研究表明Cbl-b负调控CLR介导的抗真菌固有免疫,这为设计抗真菌治疗药物提供了分子见解。
