Post-translational control of MAVS signaling: linking mitochondrial antiviral immunity to metabolic and cellular stress contexts

Emerging insights into PTM-mediated regulation of MAVS are summarized and broader implications for mitochondrial antiviral signaling are outlined, highlighting new avenues for therapeutic modulation of innate immunity and cell fate during viral infection.

NNV mediates the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome through mtDNA release and oxidative DNA damage.

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytoplasmic multiprotein complex that is activated under stress or infection conditions. It promotes the maturation of IL-1β by cleaving pro-Caspase-1, thereby playing a critical role in host innate immune responses. Various viruses can differentially activate NLRP3 through distinct mechanis...

Z-Nucleic Acid-Binding Protein (ZBP)1 (DAI/DLM1) Regulation in Antiviral Cell Death Pathways

Metazoan organisms employ an array of overlapping innate and adaptive immune mechanisms to defend against infection and prevent disease. Z-nucleic acid-binding protein (ZBP)1 (also denoted DAI or DLM1) has emerged as a key nucleic acid (NA) sensor within mammalian cells responding to stress, infection or inflammation....

RBM6 Facilitates RLR-Mediated Antiviral Responses by Promoting K63-Linked Ubiquitination of MAVS.

The mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS; also known as VISA, IPS-1, or Cardif) is the central adaptor of the RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) pathway. Upon viral infection, MAVS forms prion-like aggregates to activate NF-κB and IRF3, thereby inducing type I interferon production and antiviral responses. Here, we i...

TRIM21 blocks DDX3X-driven stress granule formation during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection via a non-canonical E3 ligase mechanism

The analysis of human TB transcriptomic datasets showed that TRIM21 expression levels correlate with TB progression in human patients and demonstrated that TRIM21 deficiency suppresses Mtb growth in both macrophages and a murine model of tuberculosis (TB).
