Tripartite motif family proteins (TRIMs) are well-characterized regulators of type I interferon (IFN) expression following cytosolic nucleic acid sensing. While many TRIMs are known to regulate innate immunity to viruses, their contribution to innate immune signaling and gene expression during bacterial infection remains largely unknown. Because Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a potent activator of cGAS-dependent cytosolic DNA sensing, we set out to investigate a role for TRIM proteins in regulating macrophage responses to M. tuberculosis. Here, we demonstrate that TRIM14, a non-canonical TRIM that lacks an E3 ligase RING domain, is a critical negative regulator of the type I IFN response in macrophages. We show TRIM14 physically interacts with both cGAS and TBK1 and that macrophages lacking TRIM14 dramatically hyperinduce interferon stimulated gene (ISG) expression following cytosolic nucleic acid agonist transfection, IFN-b treatment, and M. tuberculosis infection. Consistent with loss of negative regulation in these cells, Trim14 knockout (KO) macrophages have more phospho-Ser754 STAT3 relative to phospho-727 and fail to upregulate the STAT3 target Socs3 (Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 3), which is required to turn off type I IFN signaling. These data support a model whereby TRIM14 acts as a scaffold between TBK1 and STAT3 to promote phosphorylation of STAT3 at Ser727 and promote negative regulation of ISG expression. Remarkably, Trim14 KO macrophages are significantly better than control cells at limiting M. tuberculosis replication. Collectively, these data reveal a previously unappreciated role for TRIM proteins in regulating type I IFN responses in response to cytosolic DNA sensing and M. tuberculosis infection. 2 fold-change) in TRIM family genes in BMDMS infected with WT vs ΔESX-1 M. tuberculosis. (D) RT-qPCR of fold-change in Trim14 transcripts in BMDMs stimulated with ISD or infected with WT M. tuberculosis. (E) RAW 264.7 cells infected with mCherry M. tuberculosis for 6 hours and immunostained for TRIM14. Statistical significance was determined using two-tailed students' t test.
