| abstractText | Retinoic acid-inducible-I (RIG-I), melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5), and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) genes encode essential cytosolic receptors mediating antiviral immunity against viruses. Here, we show that OTUD3 has opposing role in response to RNA and DNA virus infection by removing distinct types of RIG-I/MDA5 and cGAS polyubiquitination. OTUD3 binds to RIG-I and MDA5 and removes K63-linked ubiquitination. This serves to reduce the binding of RIG-I and MDA5 to viral RNA and the downstream adaptor MAVS, leading to the suppression of the RNA virus-triggered innate antiviral responses. Meanwhile, OTUD3 associates with cGAS and targets at Lys279 to deubiquitinate K48-linked ubiquitination, resulting in the enhancement of cGAS protein stability and DNA-binding ability. As a result, Otud3-deficient mice and zebrafish are more resistant to RNA virus infection but are more susceptible to DNA virus infection. These findings demonstrate that OTUD3 limits RNA virus-triggered innate immunity but promotes DNA virus-triggered innate immunity. |
