Interferon Regulatory Factor 7 Is Activated by a Viral Oncoprotein through RIP-Dependent Ubiquitination

Abstract: As a key mediator of type I interferon (IFN) (IFN-␣/␤) responses, IFN regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) is essential to host immune defenses. Activation of IRF7 generally requires virus-induced C-terminal phosphorylation, which leads to its nuclear accumulation and activation of target genes. Here we use the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) oncoprotein LMP1, which activates IRF7, to identify factors involved in IRF7 activation. We demonstrate for the first time that RIP activates IRF7 and that RIP and IRF7 interact under phy… Show more

“…Because LMP1 activation of IRF7 is RIP1 dependent and is associated with both RIP1 and IRF7 K63-linked polyubiquitination (20), we investigated the potential role of RIP1 in LMP1 association with IRF7. LMP1 associated with IRF7 in WT mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and at least as well with IRF7 in RIP1 knock out (KO) MEFs, indicating that RIP1 does not mediate IRF7 association with LMP1 (Fig.…”
