The Hippo pathway senses cellular conditions and regulates YAP/TAZ to control cellular and tissue homeostasis, while TBK1 is central for cytosolic nucleic acid sensing and antiviral defence. The correlation between cellular nutrient/physical status and host antiviral defence is interesting but not well understood. Here we find that YAP/TAZ act as natural inhibitors of TBK1 and are vital for antiviral physiology. Independent of transcriptional regulation and through the transactivation domain, YAP/TAZ associate directly with TBK1 and abolish virus-induced TBK1 activation, by preventing TBK1 Lys63-linked ubiquitylation and the binding of adaptors/substrates. Accordingly, YAP/TAZ deletion/depletion or cellular conditions inactivating YAP/TAZ through Lats1/2 kinases relieve TBK1 suppression and boost antiviral responses, whereas expression of the transcriptionally inactive YAP dampens cytosolic RNA/DNA sensing and weakens the antiviral defence in cells and zebrafish. Thus, we describe a function of YAP/TAZ and the Hippo pathway in innate immunity, by linking cellular nutrient/physical status to antiviral host defence.
河马通路感知细胞状态并调节YAP/TAZ以控制细胞和组织的稳态,而TBK1在胞质核酸传感和抗病毒防御中起核心作用。细胞营养/物理状态与宿主抗病毒防御之间的相关性很有趣,但尚未得到充分了解。在这里,我们发现YAP/TAZ作为TBK1的天然抑制剂,对抗病毒生理至关重要。YAP/TAZ独立于转录调控并通过反式激活结构域直接与TBK1结合,通过阻止TBK1赖氨酸63连接的泛素化以及衔接子/底物的结合来消除病毒诱导的TBK1激活。因此,YAP/TAZ的缺失/消耗或通过Lats1/2激酶使YAP/TAZ失活的细胞状态可减轻TBK1的抑制并增强抗病毒反应,而转录无活性的YAP的表达会抑制胞质RNA/DNA传感并削弱细胞和斑马鱼中的抗病毒防御。因此,我们通过将细胞营养/物理状态与抗病毒宿主防御联系起来,描述了YAP/TAZ和河马通路在先天免疫中的功能。
