Abstract

SUMMARY RIG-I and MDA5 have emerged as key cytosolic sensors for the detection of RNA viruses, leading to antiviral interferon (IFN) production. Recent studies highlighted the importance of posttranslational modification for controlling RIG-I antiviral activity. However, the regulation of MDA5 signal-transducing ability remains unclear. Here we show that MDA5 signaling activity is regulated by a dynamic balance between phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of its CARD domains. Employing a phosphatome RNAi screen, we identified PP1α and PP1γ as primary phosphatases responsible for MDA5 and RIG-I dephosphorylation, leading to their activation. Silencing of PP1α and PP1γ enhanced RIG-I and MDA5 CARD phosphorylation and reduced antiviral IFN-β production. PP1α and PP1γ depleted cells were impaired in their ability to induce interferon-stimulated gene expression, which resulted in enhanced RNA virus replication. This work identifies PP1α and PP1γ as regulators of antiviral innate immune responses to various RNA viruses, including influenza virus, paramyxovirus, dengue virus and picornavirus.

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.
