    Abstract Type I interferons (IFNs) exhibit strong antiviral activity and induce the expression of antiviral proteins. Since excessive expression of type I IFNs is harmful to the host, their expression should be turned off at the appropriate time. In this study, we find that post-translational modification of LGP2, a member of the RIG-I-like receptor family, modulates antiviral innate immune responses. The LGP2 protein undergoes K63-linked polyubiquitination in response to cytoplasmic double-stranded RNAs or viral infection. Our mass spectrometry analysis reveals the K residues ubiquitinated by the Riplet ubiquitin ligase. LGP2 ubiquitination occurs with a delay compared to RIG-I ubiquitination. Interestingly, ubiquitination-defective LGP2 mutations increase the expression of type I IFN at a late phase, whereas the mutant proteins attenuate other antiviral proteins, such as SP100, PML, and ANKRD1. Our data indicate that delayed polyubiquitination of LGP2 fine-tunes RIG-I-dependent antiviral innate immune responses at a late phase of viral infection.

    Abstract RIG-I-like receptors (RLR), RIG-I and MDA5, are cytoplasmic viral RNA sensors that recognize viral double-stranded RNAs and trigger signals to induce antiviral responses, including type I interferon production. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. However, the RLR role in innate immune response to SARS-CoV-2 has not been fully elucidated. Here, we studied the roles of RLR in cytokine expression responding to SARS-CoV-2 and found that not only MDA5 but also RIG-I are involved in innate immune responses in some types of human cells. Transfection of total RNAs extracted from SARS-CoV-2-infected cells into epithelial cells induced IFN-β, IP-10, and Ccl5 mRNA expression. The cytokine expression was reduced by knockout of either RIG-I or MDA5, suggesting that both proteins are required for appropriate innate immune response to SARS-CoV-2. Two viral genomic RNA regions strongly induced type I IFN expression, and a 200-base fragment of viral RNA preferentially induced type I IFN in a RIG-I-dependent manner. In contrast, SARS-CoV-2 infectious particles hardly induced cytokine expression, suggesting viral escape from the host response. Viral 9b protein inhibited RIG-I and MAVS interaction, and viral 7a protein destabilized the TBK1 protein, leading to attenuated IRF-3 phosphorylation required for type I IFN expression. Our data elucidated the mechanism underlying RLR-mediated response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and viral escape from the host innate immune response.

    Abstract RIG-I, a cytoplasmic viral RNA sensor, is crucial for innate antiviral immune responses; however, there are controversies about the regulatory mechanism of RIG-I by several ubiquitin ligases and LGP2. This study revealed that the RIPLET ubiquitin ligase is a general activating factor for RIG-I signaling. In contrast, another ubiquitin ligase, TRIM25, activated RIG-I in a cell-type-specific manner. RIPLET and TRIM25 functions were modulated by accessory factors, such as ZCCH3C and NLRP12. Interestingly, we found an additional role of RIPLET in innate immune responses. RIPLET induced delayed polyubiquitination of LGP, resulting in the attenuation of excessive cytokine expression at the late phase. Moreover, RIPLET was involved in the innate immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 infection, a cause of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Our data indicate that RIPLET fine-tunes innate immune responses via polyubiquitination of RIG-I and LGP2 against virus infection, including SARS-CoV-2.
