  • TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) is a nodal protein involved in multiple signal transduction pathways. In RNA virus-mediated innate immunity, TBK1 is recruited to the prion-like platform formed by MAVS and subsequently activates the transcription factors IRF3/7 and NF-κB to produce type I interferon (IFN) and proinflammatory cytokines for the signaling cascade. In this study, TRAF7 was identified as a negative regulator of innate immune signaling. TRAF7 interacts with TBK1 and promotes K48-linked polyubiquitination and degradation of TBK1 through its RING domain, impairing the activation of IRF3 and the production of IFN-β. In addition, we found that the conserved cysteine residues at position 131 of TRAF7 are necessary for its function toward TBK1. Knockout of TRAF7 could facilitate the activation of IRF3 and increase the transcript levels of downstream antiviral genes. These data suggest that TRAF7 negatively regulates innate antiviral immunity by promoting the K48-linked ubiquitination of TBK1.

    Abstract: TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) is a nodal protein involved in multiple signal transduction pathways. In RNA virus-mediated innate immunity, TBK1 is recruited to the prion-like platform formed by MAVS and subsequently activates the transcription factors IRF3/7 and NF-κB to produce type I interferon (IFN) and proinflammatory cytokines for the signaling cascade. In this study, TRAF7 was identified as a negative regulator of innate immune signaling. TRAF7 interacts with TBK1 and promotes K48-linked polyubiquitination and degradation of TBK1 through its RING domain, impairing the activation of IRF3 and the production of IFN-β. In addition, we found that the conserved cysteine residues at position 131 of TRAF7 are necessary for its function toward TBK1. Knockout of TRAF7 could facilitate the activation of IRF3 and increase the transcript levels of downstream antiviral genes. These data suggest that TRAF7 negatively regulates innate antiviral immunity by promoting the K48-linked ubiquitination of TBK1.
