Fowl adenovirus serotype 4 ORF1B protein suppresses type I interferon production by inhibiting IRF7 nuclear translocation
Fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4), the causative agent of hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HHS), has been reported to counter the host innate immune response. However, the underlying mechanisms employed by FAdV-4 to block cellular antiviral defense remain unclear. With a functional screen, we identified three FAdV-4 proteins that antagonized beta interferon (IFN-β) production induced by poly (dA:dT) and cGAS/STING in chicken fibroblasts. Specifically, the FAdV-4 unique nonstructural protein ORF1B exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect by targeting interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7). Further data found that ORF1B interacted with IRF7 to inhibit its nuclear translocation. Ectopic expression of IRF7 blocked the replication of FAdV-4, with virus titers and viral protein synthesis greatly lower than those of the control group. Conversely, knockdown of IRF7 promoted FAdV-4 replication in vitro. These findings illustrate the potential mechanism that allows FAdV-4 to evade host antiviral immunity.
期刊介绍:
The journal Cytokine has an open access mirror journal Cytokine: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
* Devoted exclusively to the study of the molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, genome-wide association studies, pathobiology, diagnostic and clinical applications of all known interleukins, hematopoietic factors, growth factors, cytotoxins, interferons, new cytokines, and chemokines, Cytokine provides comprehensive coverage of cytokines and their mechanisms of actions, 12 times a year by publishing original high quality refereed scientific papers from prominent investigators in both the academic and industrial sectors.
We will publish 3 major types of manuscripts:
1) Original manuscripts describing research results.
2) Basic and clinical reviews describing cytokine actions and regulation.
3) Short commentaries/perspectives on recently published aspects of cytokines, pathogenesis and clinical results.
