Cellular Antiviral Response

SummaryViperin is a radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzyme that plays a multifaceted role in the cellular antiviral response. Viperin was recently shown to catalyze the SAM-dependent formation of 3′-deoxy-3′,4′-didehydro-CTP (ddhCTP), which inhibits some viral RNA polymerases. Viperin is also implicated in regulating K63-linked poly-ubiquitination of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-1 (IRAK1) by the E3 ubiquitin ligase TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 6 (TRAF6) as part of the Toll-like receptor-7 and 9 (TLR7/9) innate immune signaling pathways. We show that IRAK1 and TRAF6 activate viperin to efficiently catalyze the radical-mediated dehydration of CTP to ddhCTP. Furthermore, poly-ubiquitination of IRAK1 requires the association of viperin with IRAK1 and TRAF6. Poly-ubiquitination appears dependent on structural changes induced by SAM binding to viperin but does not require catalytically active viperin. The synergistic activation of viperin and IRAK1 provides a mechanism that couples innate immune signaling with the production of the antiviral nucleotide ddhCTP.

ABSTRACTNeisseria gonorrhoeaecauses gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection characterized by inflammation of the cervix or urethra. However, a significant subset of patients withN. gonorrhoeaeremain asymptomatic, without evidence of localized inflammation. Inflammatory responses toN. gonorrhoeaeare generated by host innate immune recognition ofN. gonorrhoeaeby several innate immune signaling pathways, including lipooligosaccharide (LOS) and other pathogen-derived molecules through activation of innate immune signaling systems, including toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the interleukin-1β (IL-1β) processing complex known as the inflammasome. The lipooligosaccharide ofN. gonorrhoeaehas a hexa-acylated lipid A.N. gonorrhoeaestrains that carry an inactivatedmsbB(also known aslpxL1) gene produce a penta-acylated lipid A and exhibit reduced biofilm formation, survival in epithelial cells, and induction of epithelial cell inflammatory signaling. We now show thatmsbB-deficientN. gonorrhoeaeinduces less inflammatory signaling in human monocytic cell lines and murine macrophages than the parent organism. The penta-acylated LOS exhibits reduced toll-like receptor 4 signaling but does not affectN. gonorrhoeae-mediated activation of the inflammasome. We demonstrate thatN. gonorrhoeaemsbBis dispensable for initiating and maintaining infection in a murine model of gonorrhea. Interestingly, infection withmsbB-deficientN. gonorrhoeaeis associated with less localized inflammation. Combined, these data suggest that TLR4-mediated recognition ofN. gonorrhoeaeLOS plays an important role in the pathogenesis of symptomatic gonorrhea infection and that alterations in lipid A biosynthesis may play a role in determining symptomatic and asymptomatic infections.
