Abstract

Viral infection causes activation of transcription factors NF-κB and IRF3, which collaborate to induce type I interferons (IFNs) and cellular antiviral response. Here we show that knockdown of the E3 ubiquitin ligases cIAP1 and cIAP2 markedly inhibited virus-triggered activation of IRF3 and NF-κB as well as IFN-β induction. Knockdown of cIAP1 and cIAP2 also inhibited cytoplasmic dsRNA-triggered cellular antiviral response. Endogenous coimmunoprecipitation experiments indicated that viral infection caused recruitment of cIAP1 and cIAP2 to TRAF3, TRAF6, and VISA. Furthermore, we demonstrated that cIAP1- and cIAP2-mediated virus-triggered ubiquitination of TRAF3 and TRAF6. These findings suggest that virus-triggered ubiquitination of TRAF3 and TRAF6 by cIAP1 and cIAP2 is essential for type I IFN induction and cellular antiviral response.
