摘要
ABSTRACTNLRC5 has been reported to be involved in antiviral immunity; however, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the functional role of NLRC5 in the infection of a flavivirus, dengue virus (DENV). We found that the expression of NLRC5 was strongly induced by virus infection and IFNB or IFNG stimulation in different cell lines. Overexpression of NLRC5 remarkably suppressed DENV infection, whereas knockout of NLRC5 led to a significant increase in DENV infection. Mechanistic study revealed that NLRC5 interacted with the viral nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) protease domain and mediated degradation of NS3 through a ubiquitin-dependent selective macroautophagy/autophagy pathway. We demonstrated that NLRC5 recruited the E3 ubiquitin ligase CUL2 (cullin 2) to catalyze K48-linked poly-ubiquitination of the NS3 protease domain, which subsequently served as a recognition signal for cargo receptor TOLLIP-mediated selective autophagic degradation. Together, we have demonstrated that NLRC5 exerted an antiviral effect by mediating the degradation of a multifunctional protein of DENV, providing a novel antiviral signal axis of NLRC5-CUL2-NS3-TOLLIP. This study expands our understanding of the regulatory network of NLRC5 in the host defense against virus infection.KEYWORDS: Antiviral immunityflavivirusselective autophagyTOLLIPubiquitination AcknowledgementWe thank Dr. Andrew Yueh (National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan, China) for providing the DENV-2 infectious clone 16681, Dr. Yan Yuan (Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China) for HUVEC cells, Dr. Mengfeng Li (Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China) for pCMV-3×Flag-1b vector, Dr. Cheng-Feng Qin (Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Beijing, China) and Dr. Jincun Zhao (The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China) for full-length infectious cDNA of JEV.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Supplementary materialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/15548627.2022.2126614Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the National Key Research and Development Program of China [2020YFC1200100]; National Natural Science Foundation of China [81971938]; Natural Science Foundation of Hainan Province [820QN269]; The Innovation Research Team for Basic and Clinical Studies on Chronic Liver Diseases of 2018 High-Level Health Teams of Zhuhai (for Y.-P.L.)
