The Role of REC8 in the Innate Immune Response to Viral Infection

Abstract: REC8 meiotic recombination protein (REC8) is a member of structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) protein partners, which play an important role in meiosis, anti-tumor, and sperm formation. As the adapter proteins of RLR signaling and cGAS-DNA signaling, the activity and stability of MAVS (also known as VISA, Cardif and IPS-1) and STING (also known as MITA) are critical for innate immunity. Here, we report that REC8 interacts with MAVS and STING, and inhibits their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation, … Show more

“…Besides, a loss-of-function screen using a small interfering RNA (siRNA) library identified IRF9 as the most significantly enriched hit responsible for the activity of IFN-a against VSV, Indiana serotype (VSV IND ) (30). (II) IFITM1/IFITM3 restricted VSV replication potentially through toughening the host membrane, thus preventing viral membrane fusion (19); (III) REC8 promoted the innate immune response by targeting STING and MAVS, thus constraining VSV replication (20). Noticeable is the fact that those four hits are on the top of list.…”

“…Although the azoospermia of ClpP-null mice was not mitigated when downstream immune signals were blocked by genetic deletion of STING and IFNAR, it is possible that mtDNA pathology impacts meiosis further upstream in the antiviral program. One example is the sequestration of nuclear REC8 to the mitochondrial outer membrane in association with the MAVS protein upon virus exposure [91], but there are presumably other unknown direct interactions that do not depend on type I interferon production.…”

“…Although the SC axial element component Rec8 was previously reported to be also induced by retinoic acid [57], a paradoxical transcriptional downregulation of Rec8 at P27 was observed, and this significant reduction at mRNA and protein level was the first molecular block during ClpP-null spermatogensis observed in the current profiling effort. It is interesting to note that REC8 is regulated by proteolytic cleavage via the downregulated separin, is protected in its centromere association by SGOL2, and is relocalized to associate with mitochondrial surface MAVS during antiviral responses [25,58,59]. Thus, REC8 is a key molecule connecting mitochondrial pathology and proteostasis with meiosis.…”
