    Abstract Identifying protein-protein and other proximal interactions is central to dissecting signaling and regulatory processes in cells. BioID is a proximity-dependent biotinylation method that uses an "abortive" biotin ligase to detect proximal interactions in cells in a highly reproducible manner. Recent advancements in proximity-dependent biotinylation tools have improved efficiency and timing of labeling, allowing for measurement of interactions on a cellular timescale. However, issues of size, stability, and background labeling of these constructs persist. Here we modified the structure of BioID2, derived from Aquifex aeolicus BirA, to create a smaller, highly active, biotin ligase that we named MicroID2. Truncation of the C terrminus of BioID2 and addition of mutations to alleviate blockage of biotin/ATP binding at the active site of BioID2 resulted in a smaller and highly active construct with lower background labeling. Several additional point mutations improved the function of our modified MicroID2 construct compared with BioID2 and other biotin ligases, including TurboID and miniTurbo. MicroID2 is the smallest biotin ligase reported so far (180 amino acids [AAs] for MicroID2 versus 257 AAs for miniTurbo and 338 AAs for TurboID), yet it demonstrates only slightly less labeling activity than TurboID and outperforms miniTurbo. MicroID2 also had lower background labeling than TurboID. For experiments where precise temporal control of labeling is essential, we in addition developed a MicroID2 mutant, termed lbMicroID2 (low background MicroID2), that has lower labeling efficiency but significantly reduced biotin scavenging compared with BioID2. Finally, we demonstrate utility of MicroID2 in mass spectrometry experiments by localizing MicroID2 constructs to subcellular organelles and measuring proximal interactions.

    Abstract Respiratory viruses, such as influenza, decrease airway cilia function and expression, which leads to reduced mucociliary clearance and inhibited overall immune defense. Ubiquitination is a posttranslational modification using E3 ligases, which plays a role in the assembly and disassembly of cilia. We examined the role of membrane-associated RING-CH (MARCH) family of E3 ligases during influenza infection and determined that MARCH10, specifically expressed in ciliated epithelial cells, is significantly decreased during influenza infection in mice, human lung epithelial cells, and human lung tissue. Cellular depletion of MARCH10 in differentiated human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) using CRISPR/Cas9 showed a decrease in ciliary beat frequency. Furthermore, MARCH10 cellular knockdown in combination with influenza infection selectively decreased immunoreactive levels of the ciliary component, dynein axonemal intermediate chain 1. Cellular overexpression of MARCH10 significantly decreased influenza hemagglutinin protein levels in the differentiated HBECs and knockdown of MARCH10 increased IL-1β cytokine expression, whereas overexpression had the reciprocal effect. These findings suggest that MARCH10 may have a protective role in airway pulmonary host defense and innate immunity during influenza infection.

    Abstract Influenza remains a major public health challenge, as the viral infection activates multiple biological networks linked to altered host innate immunity. Following infection, IFN-λ, a ligand crucial for the resolution of viral infections, is known to bind to its cognate receptor, IFNLR1, in lung epithelia. However, little is known regarding the molecular expression and regulation of IFNLR1. Here, we show that IFNLR1 is a labile protein in human airway epithelia that is rapidly degraded after influenza infection. Using an unbiased proximal ligation biotin screen, we first identified that the Skp-Cullin-F box E3 ligase subunit, FBXO45, binds to IFNLR1. We demonstrate that FBXO45, induced in response to influenza infection, mediates IFNLR1 protein polyubiquitination and degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system by docking with its intracellular receptor domain. Furthermore, we found ectopically expressed FBXO45 and its silencing in cells differentially regulated both IFNLR1 protein stability and interferon-stimulated gene expression. Mutagenesis studies also indicated that expression of a K319R/K320R IFNLR1 variant in cells exhibited reduced polyubiquitination, yet greater stability and proteolytic resistance to FBXO45 and influenza-mediated receptor degradation. These results indicate that the IFN-λ-IFNLR1 receptor axis is tightly regulated by the Skp-Cullin-F box ubiquitin machinery, a pathway that may be exploited by influenza infection as a means to limit antiviral responses.

    Abstract Interferon lambda (IFNλ) signaling is a promising therapeutic target against viral infection in murine models, yet little is known about its molecular regulation and its cognate receptor, interferon lambda receptor 1 (IFNLR1) in human lung. We hypothesized that the IFNλ signaling axis was active in human lung macrophages. In human alveolar macrophages (HAMs), we observed increased IFNLR1 expression and robust increase in interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression in response to IFNλ ligand. While human monocytes express minimal IFNLR1, differentiation of monocytes into macrophages with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) increased IFNLR1 mRNA, IFNLR1 protein expression, and cellular response to IFNλ ligation. Conversely, in mice, M-CSF or GM-CSF stimulated macrophages failed to produce ISGs in response to related ligands, IFNL2 or IFNL3, suggesting that IFNLR1 signaling in macrophages is species-specific. We next hypothesized that IFNλ signaling was critical in influenza antiviral responses. In primary human airway epithelial cells and precision-cut human lung slices, influenza infection substantially increased IFNλ levels. Pretreatment of both HAMs and differentiated human monocytes with IFNL1 significantly inhibited influenza infection. IFNLR1 knockout in the myeloid cell line, THP-1, exhibited reduced interferon responses to either direct or indirect exposure to influenza infection suggesting the indispensability of IFNLR1 for antiviral responses. These data demonstrate the presence of IFNλ - IFNLR1 signaling axis in human lung macrophages and a critical role of IFNλ signaling in combating influenza infection.
