Mammalian interferon (IFN) regulatory factor 9 (IRF-9) has long been recognized as the DNA sequence recognition subunit of IFN-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) complex, which is critical for type I IFN to induce the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) against viral infection. Recent studies have shown that fish IFN exerts antiviral effects by induction of a number of ISGs and also of itself; however, little is known about the role of fish IRF9 in IFN signaling. Here we identify a fish IRF9 orthologue (CaIRF9) from IFN-producing cell line, crucian carp Carassius auratus blastulae embryonic (CAB) cells. Analysis of subcellular distribution of CaIRF9-green fluorescent protein indicates that CaIRF9 is constitutively present in the nucleus, which is driven by two nuclear localization signals (NLS), one locating within DNA-binding domain (DBD) of CaIRF9 and the other immediately behind DBD, although human IRF9 contains only one NLS analogous to the former of CaIRF9. Overexpression of CaIRF9 together with CaSTAT2 not only activates ISRE-containing promoter but also upregulates the expression of fish ISGs. Strikingly, CaIRF9 together with CaSTAT2 also exhibits an ability to activate crucian carp IFN promoter, and blockade of cellular CaIRF9 attenuates IFN itself-induced activation of crucian carp IFN promoter. Taken together, these data suggest that crucian carp IFN induces the expression of ISGs and also of itself possibly by the JAK-STAT signaling pathway that is conserved from fish to mammals. 相似文献

IFIT 家族由一类受干扰素诱导表达并具有TPR 结构域的蛋白组成, 但是在鱼类关于IFIT 基因的研究还很少。研究利用哺乳类IFIT 家族基因IFI56 的序列搜索斑马鱼基因组数据库鉴定出一个未知基因, 该基因具有哺乳类IFIT 家族保守的基因组结构, 编码蛋白具有保守的TPR 结构域, 暂命名为IFIT-A。RT-PCR 分析表明, Poly I:C 能够诱导IFIT-A 基因转录水平上调。与哺乳类IFIT 家族基因相似, 斑马鱼IFIT-A 启动子存在ISG 基因特有的典型ISRE 结构域。荧光素酶活性实验揭示Poly I:C 和重组IFN 蛋白能激活斑马鱼IFIT-A 启动子活性。此外, 过量表达IFN 调控因子IRF3 和IRF7 能诱导斑马鱼IFIT-A 启动子活性。实验结果证明IFIT-A基因是斑马鱼IFIT 家族成员, IRF3 和IRF7 在其诱导表中具有重要调控作用。

Influenza A virus (IAV) infection induces secretion of type I interferon (IFN) and activation of p53, which play essential roles in the host defense against tumor development and viral infection. In this study, we knocked down p53 expression by RNA interference. The expression levels of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) including IFN regulatory factor (IRF) 5, IRF9, ISG15, ISG20, guanylate-binding protein 1, retinoic acid-inducible gene-I and 2′-5′-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 were significantly attenuated in response to IAV infection and IFN-α stimulation in p53-knockdown cells. This attenuated expression of ISGs was associated with enhanced replication of IAV. Pretreatment of p53-knockdown cells with IFN-α failed to inhibit IAV replication, indicating impaired antiviral activity. These findings indicate that p53 plays an essential role in the enhancement of the type I IFN-mediated immune response against IAV infection. 相似文献

Nub1(NEDD8 Ultimate Buster-1)是近年来发现的一种干扰素诱导表达基因,过量表达该基因能抑制细胞生长。研究通过RACE-PCR方法从产生干扰素的鲫囊胚培养细胞(Carassius auratus blastulae embryonic cells,CAB)中克隆出鲫Nub1基因。鲫Nub1全长cDNA为2298bp,编码一个由589个氨基酸残基组成的蛋白。推导的鲫NUB1蛋白具有哺乳类同源蛋白保守的结构域,包括N端的UBL结构域和C端两个UBA结构域,与已知的哺乳类包括人和小鼠、鸟类和两栖类的同源蛋白具有41%-45%的相似性。诱导表达分析显示PolyI:C和LPS均能诱导CAB细胞Nub1mRNA的上调,表明Nub1基因在鱼类的抗病免疫反应中发挥某种重要作用。

RLR[retinoic acid-inducible gene Ⅰ(RIG-Ⅰ)-like Receptors]是一类表达在胞浆中的模式识别受体, 在识别细胞质中经病毒复制产生的病毒RNA后, 启动一系列信号级联反应, 以诱导机体Ⅰ型干扰素及干扰素诱导的抗病毒基因的表达, 最后达到清除机体病毒感染的目的。由于在病毒感染时机体干扰素反应必须迅速启动, 当病毒清除后干扰素反应又需要立即恢复到正常本底水平, 因此RLR激活的信号转导途径受到了严格的调控, 其中就包括由E3泛素连接酶参与的泛素化修饰调控和由去泛素化酶参与的去泛素化修饰调控。自2003年成功鉴定出鱼类干扰素基因以来, 鱼类也被发现具有保守的RLR信号转导途径诱导干扰素抗病毒免疫反应, 该信号途径同样受到泛素化修饰的调控。文章总结了近年来泛素化修饰在哺乳类和鱼类RLR介导的抗病毒免疫应答通路中的调节机制。 相似文献

Virus replication induces the expression of antiviral type I (IFN-alphabeta) and type III (IFN-lambda1-3 or IL-28A/B and IL-29) IFN genes via TLR-dependent and -independent pathways. Although type III IFNs differ genetically from type I IFNs, their similar biological antiviral functions suggest that their expression is regulated in a similar fashion. Structural and functional characterization of the IFN-lambda1 and IFN-lambda3 gene promoters revealed them to be similar to IFN-beta and IFN-alpha genes, respectively. Both of these promoters had functional IFN-stimulated response element and NF-kappaB binding sites. The binding of IFN regulatory factors (IRF) to type III IFN promoter IFN-stimulated response element sites was the most important event regulating the expression of these genes. Ectopic expression of the components of TLR7 (MyD88 plus IRF1/IRF7), TLR3 (Toll/IL-1R domain-containing adapter-inducing factor), or retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) signal transduction pathways induced the activation of IFN-lambda1 promoter, whereas the IFN-lambda3 promoter was efficiently activated only by overexpression of MyD88 and IRF7. The ectopic expression of Pin1, a recently identified suppressor for IRF3-dependent antiviral response, decreased the IFN promoter activation induced by any of these three signal transduction pathways, including the MyD88-dependent one. To conclude, the data suggest that the IFN-lambda1 gene is regulated by virus-activated IRF3 and IRF7, thus resembling that of the IFN-beta gene, whereas IFN-lambda2/3 gene expression is mainly controlled by IRF7, thus resembling those of IFN-alpha genes. 相似文献

The unparalleled spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza A (HPAI) H5N1 viruses has resulted in devastating outbreaks in domestic poultry and sporadic human infections with a high fatality rate. To better understand the mechanism(s) of H5N1 virus pathogenesis and host responses in humans, we utilized a polarized human bronchial epithelial cell model that expresses both avian alpha-2,3- and human alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid receptors on the apical surface and supports productive replication of both H5N1 and H3N2 viruses. Using this model, we compared the abilities of selected 2004 HPAI H5N1 viruses isolated from humans and a recent human H3N2 virus to trigger the type I interferon (IFN) response. H5N1 viruses elicited significantly less IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) nuclear translocation, as well as delayed and reduced production of IFN-beta compared with the H3N2 virus. Furthermore, phosphorylation of Stat2 and induction of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), such as MX1, ISG15, IRF7, and retinoic acid-inducible gene I, were substantially delayed and reduced in cells infected with H5N1 viruses. We also observed that the highly virulent H5N1 virus replicated more efficiently and induced a weaker IFN response than the H5N1 virus that exhibited low virulence in mammals in an earlier study. Our data suggest that the H5N1 viruses tested, especially the virus with the high-pathogenicity phenotype, possess greater capability to attenuate the type I IFN response than the human H3N2 virus. The attenuation of this critical host innate immune defense may contribute to the virulence of H5N1 viruses observed in humans. 相似文献
