Abstract

SUMMARY Intrinsic innate immune mechanisms are the first line of defense against pathogens, and exist to control infection autonomously in infected cells. Here we show that autophagy, an intrinsic mechanism that can degrade cytoplasmic components, plays a direct anti-viral role against the mammalian viral pathogen Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) in the model organism Drosophila. We found that the surface glycoprotein, VSVG, is likely the pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) that initiates this cell-autonomous response. Once activated, autophagy decreases viral replication, and repression of autophagy leads to increased viral replication and pathogenesis in cells and animals. Lastly, we show that the antiviral response is controlled by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway which normally regulates autophagy in response to nutrient availability. Altogether these data uncover an intrinsic antiviral program that that links viral recognition to the evolutionarily conserved nutrient signaling and autophagy pathways.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
