USP14 promotes K63-linked RIG-I deubiquitination and suppresses antiviral immune responses.
Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) is a critical RNA virus sensor that initiates antiviral immune response through K63-linked ubiquitination. In this study, we demonstrated USP14, a deubiquitinating enzyme, as a negative regulator in antiviral responses by directly deubiquitinating K63-linked RIG-I. USP14 knockdown significantly enhanced RIG-I-triggered type I IFN signaling and ... inhibited vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) replication both in mouse peritoneal macrophages and THP1 cells. USP14 overexpression in HeLa cells attenuated RIG-I-triggered IFN-? expression and promoted VSV replication. Besides, USP14-specific inhibitor, IU1, increased RIG-I-mediated type I IFN production and antiviral responses in vitro and in vivo. In addition, USP14 could interact with RIG-I and remove RIG-I K63-linked polyubiquitination chains. This article is the first to report that USP14 acts as a negative regulator in antiviral response through deubiquitinating K63-linked RIG-I. These findings provide insights into a potential new therapy targeting USP14 for RNA virus-related diseases.
