干扰素诱导基因15 (interferon-stimulated gene 15,isg15)的表达受Ⅰ型干扰素诱导,该基因编码的蛋白ISG15可以分别通过E1、E2和E3酶的作用共价修饰靶蛋白,此过程被称为ISG化(ISGylation)。宿主蛋白的ISG化广泛参与天然免疫例如宿主的抗病毒过程。泛素特异性蛋白酶18 (ubiquitin-specific protease 18,USP18)作为一种去泛素化酶(deubiquitinase,DUB)可以去除靶蛋白偶联的ISG15,并通过抑制Ⅰ型干扰素信号通路来抑制宿主的免疫应答。ISG15介导的ISG化和USP18介导的去ISG化(deISGylation)建立的动态平衡对结核病的发生、发展和转归有重要影响。此外,同ISG15一样,USP18也广泛参与病毒感染和宿主细胞抗病毒反应,多种先天性免疫疾病和免疫信号通路都受到USP18的调节。本文综述了ISG15和USP18相关的研究进展,重点介绍了ISG15介导的ISGylation和USP18介导的去ISG化在结核病及其他重要疾病中的调控作用,以期为靶向宿主蛋白的结核病等重要疾病防治提供...  相似文献

干扰素是一种具有抗病毒、抗增殖和免疫调节功能的细胞因子,它在宿主天然免疫防御中起着重要的作用。干扰素诱导的信号通路除了最初的Jak-Stat途径以外,很多新发现的信号途径对于干扰素反应也是必需的。干扰素反应最终导致抗病毒的效应蛋白通路,包括2′,5′-寡聚腺苷酸合成酶、蛋白激酶、ISG15等途径。这些效应蛋白通过抑制病毒转录、降解病毒RNA、抑制翻译和修饰蛋白的功能来控制病毒复制的过程。  相似文献

线粒体抗病毒信号蛋白(MAVS)作为一种接头蛋白在调节宿主天然免疫信号通路过程中扮演重要角色.Toll样受体(TLR)和RIG-Ⅰ样受体(RLR)等细胞模式识别受体识别入侵的病原体并将信号传递给MAVS,MAVS通过刺激下游的TBK1复合体和IKK复合体分别活化NF-κB和IRF3等信号通路,进而激活干扰素α/β表达,诱发细胞内抗感染天然免疫反应.MAVS除定位线粒体外,也可定位于过氧化物酶体上.MAVS在细胞内的不同定位决定了其在早期快速和持续性抗病毒天然免疫中的不同调节机制.MAVS只有同时定位在过氧化物酶体和线粒体上才可诱导干扰素刺激基因(ISG)快速且稳定地表达.本文通过对MAVS的发现、结构、细胞定位及其在天然免疫信号通路中的调控机制等最新进展进行综述,以期揭示MAVS蛋白在细胞内天然免疫信号通路中的重要调节作用,为研究病毒逃逸宿主天然免疫的机制和研究新型抗病毒免疫治疗策略提供新思路.  相似文献

Upon viral infection, the production of type I interferon (IFN) and the subsequent upregulation of IFN stimulated genes (ISGs) generate an antiviral state with an important role in the activation of innate and adaptive host immune responses. The ubiquitin-like protein (UBL) ISG15 is a critical IFN-induced antiviral molecule that protects against several viral infections, but the mechanism by which ISG15 exerts its antiviral function is not completely understood. Here, we report that ISG15 plays an important role in the regulation of macrophage responses. ISG15−/− macrophages display reduced activation, phagocytic capacity and programmed cell death activation in response to vaccinia virus (VACV) infection. Moreover, peritoneal macrophages from mice lacking ISG15 are neither able to phagocyte infected cells nor to block viral infection in co-culture experiments with VACV-infected murine embryonic fibroblast (MEFs). This phenotype is independent of cytokine production and secretion, but clearly correlates with impaired activation of the protein kinase AKT in ISG15 knock-out (KO) macrophages. Altogether, these results indicate an essential role of ISG15 in the cellular immune antiviral response and point out that a better understanding of the antiviral responses triggered by ISG15 may lead to the development of therapies against important human pathogens.  相似文献

Type I interferon (alpha/beta interferon [IFN-α/β]) stimulates the expression of interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), which encodes a ubiquitin-like protein, ISG15. Free ISG15 and ISG15 conjugates function in diverse cellular pathways, particularly regulation of antiviral innate immune responses. In this study, we demonstrate that ISG15 overexpression inhibits porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) replication in cell culture and that the antiviral activity of interferon is reduced by inhibition of ISG15 conjugation. PRRSV nonstructural protein 2 (nsp2) was previously identified as a potential antagonist of ISG15 production and conjugation. The protein contains a papain-like protease domain (PLP2) that plays a crucial role in the proteolytic cleavage of the PRRSV replicase polyproteins. PLP2 was also proposed to belong to the ovarian tumor domain-containing superfamily of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), which is capable of inhibiting ISG15 production and counteracting ISG15 conjugation to cellular proteins. To determine whether this immune antagonist function could be selectively inactivated, we engineered a panel of mutants with deletions and/or mutations at the N-terminal border of the nsp2 PLP2-DUB domain. A 23-amino-acid deletion (amino acids 402 to 424 of the ORF1a-encoded protein) largely abolished the inhibitory effect of nsp2 on ISG15 production and conjugation, but no viable recombinant virus was recovered. A 19-amino-acid deletion (amino acids 402 to 420), in combination with a downstream point mutation (S465A), partially relieved the ISG15 antagonist function and yielded a viable recombinant virus. Taken together, our data demonstrate that ISG15 and ISGylation play an important role in the response to PRRSV infection and that nsp2 is a key factor in counteracting the antiviral function of ISG15.  相似文献

Post-translational protein modification is an important strategy for the regulation of the cell proteome independent of the need for new gene expression. Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifiers mediate the regulation of protein levels, signaling pathways, vesicular trafficking, and many other cellular processes through their covalent conjugation to proteins. Interferon stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is a ubiquitin-like modifier induced by type I interferon. In addition to conjugating to potentially hundreds of target proteins, ISG15 can be found in an unconjugated form both inside of the cell and released from interferon stimulated cells into the extracellular environment. Due to its robust expression after type I interferon stimulation and the broad panel of proteins that it targets, ISG15 has drawn much attention as a potential regulator of the immune response and has been shown to mediate protection in a number of different viral infection models. Here we will review the current state of the field of ISG15, the viruses against which ISG15 mediates protection, and the mechanisms by which ISG15 exerts antiviral activity.  相似文献

Interferon stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), an ubiquitin cross-reactive protein, can conjugate to target proteins. Unlike ubiquitination, protein modification by ISG15 does not target protein for degradation, but enhances the cellular response to interferon (IFN), which plays a key role in antiviral responses. In this study, Western blot and/or immunocytochemistry were performed to explore the ISG15 expression patterns in explants of bovine endometrium, mammary gland and kidney, as well as Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK), endometrial and mammary cells stimulated by IFN-α, -β, and -τ. Western blot indicated that there are differential minimum antiviral units among recombinant bovine interferon-α (rbIFN-α, 10(2) IU/mL), rbIFN-β (10(3) IU/mL) and rbIFN-τ (10(4) IU/mL) in regard to stimulating saturation expression of free and ISG15-conjugated proteins by MDBK cells and endometrial and mammary explants. These results were further confirmed through immunocytochemical analysis of MDBK, endometrial and mammary cells. For the first time it has been shown that the expression pattern of ISG15-conjugated proteins occurs in a tissue-specific manner. Furthermore, the present findings provide the first evidence of 10- to 100-fold differences in minimum antiviral units of rbIFN-α, rbIFN-β, and rbIFN-τ in regard to stimulating saturation expression of ISG15.  相似文献

ISG15由干扰素刺激基因15编码,是最早被发现的类泛素修饰分子.病毒感染以及干扰素刺激可以强烈诱导其表达.与泛素类似,ISG15可以共价连接到其他蛋白分子上进行修饰,但ISG15及其连接修饰的功能作用还有很多尚未知.最近的研究表明,ISG15及其修饰作用在先天免疫中起着重要的作用.将牛类ISG15基因克隆进入pET28a(+)原核表达载体,并且表达了可溶的融合有His-tag标签的bISG15融合蛋白.使用Ni-NTA葡聚糖进行纯化浓缩.纯化蛋白免疫Balb/c小鼠并获得抗血清.Western印迹实验显示,抗血清可以特异地识别在真核细胞中表达的bISG15.浓缩的bISG15以及制备的抗血清用于建立bISG15的体外修饰系统.实验证明,使用该系统bISG15可以连接到细胞蛋白上进行修饰.  相似文献

The ubiquitin-like molecule ISG15 (UCRP) and protein modification by ISG15 (ISGylation) are strongly induced by interferon, genotoxic stress, and pathogen infection, suggesting that ISG15 plays an important role in innate immune responses. However, how ISGylation contributes to innate immune responses is not clear. The dsRNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) inhibits translation by phosphorylating eIF2α to exert its anti-viral effect. ISG15 and PKR are induced by interferon, suggesting that a relationship exists between ISGylation and translational regulation. Here, we report that PKR is ISGylated at lysines 69 and 159. ISG15-modified PKR is active in the absence of virus infection and phosphorylates eIF2α to down-regulate protein translation. The present study describes a novel pathway for the activation of PKR and the regulation of protein translation.  相似文献

The innate immune response, and in particular the alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) system, plays a critical role in the control of viral infections. Interferons alpha and beta exert their antiviral effects through the induction of hundreds of interferon-induced (or -stimulated) genes (ISGs). While several of these ISGs have characterized antiviral functions, their actions alone do not explain all of the effects mediated by IFN-alpha/beta. To identify additional IFN-induced antiviral molecules, we utilized a recombinant chimeric Sindbis virus to express selected ISGs in IFN-alpha/beta receptor (IFN-alpha/betaR)(-/-) mice and looked for attenuation of Sindbis virus infection. Using this approach, we identified a ubiquitin homolog, interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), as having antiviral activity. ISG15 expression protected against Sindbis virus-induced lethality and decreased Sindbis virus replication in multiple organs without inhibiting the spread of virus throughout the host. We establish that, much like ubiquitin, ISG15 requires its C-terminal LRLRGG motif to form intracellular conjugates. Finally, we demonstrate that ISG15's LRLRGG motif is also required for its antiviral activity. We conclude that ISG15 can be directly antiviral.  相似文献

Recent studies have established that type I interferon modulates expression of large number of cellular genes. While the proteins encoded by some of these genes have a direct antiviral activity, the functions of the majority of the others have not yet been determined. One of the first identified IFN stimulated gene, encodes ubiquitin like protein ISG15 that is also expressed in response to different stress stimuli. Although it was shown that ISG15 functions as protein modifier, it has been only recently that the targets of ISG15 conjugation were identified. Recent studies have also revealed mechanism of ISG15 conjugation and its interaction with the ubiquitin conjugation pathway. This review is focused on the possible role of ISG15 in the antiviral response, regulation of cell growth and carcinogenesis.  相似文献

The expression of the ubiquitin-like molecule ISG15 (UCRP) and protein modification by ISG15 (ISGylation) are strongly activated by interferon, genotoxic stress, and pathogen infection, suggesting that ISG15 plays an important role in innate immune responses. Inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) is induced by the similar stimuli as ISG15 and enhances the production of nitric oxide (NO), a pleiotropic free radical with antipathogen activity. Here, we report that cysteine residues (Cys-76 and -143 in mouse, Cys-78 in human) of ISG15 can be modified by NO, and the NO modification of ISG15 decreases the dimerization of ISG15. The mutation of the cysteine residue of ISG15 to serine improves total ISGylation. The NO synthase inhibitor S-ethylisothiourea reduces endogenous ISGylation. Furthermore, ectopic expression of iNOS enhanced total ISGylation. Together, these results suggest that nitrosylation of ISG15 enhances target protein ISGylation. This is the first report of a relationship between ISGylation and nitrosylation.  相似文献
