ABSTRACT
The cGAS-STING-mediated antiviral response plays an important role in the defense against DNA virus infection. Tripartite motif protein 35 (TRIM35), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, was identified as a positive regulator of RLR-mediated antiviral signaling in our previous study, but the effect of TRIM35 on the cGAS-STING signaling pathway has not been elucidated. Herein, we showed that TRIM35 negatively regulates the cGAS-STING signaling pathway by directly targeting STING. TRIM35 overexpression significantly inhibited the cGAMP-triggered phosphorylation of TBK1 and IRF3, attenuating IFN-ß expression and the downstream antiviral response. Mechanistically, TRIM35 colocalized and directly interacted with STING in the cytoplasm. TRM35 removed K63-linked ubiquitin from STING through the C36 and C44 sites in the RING domain, which impaired the interaction of STING with TBK1 or IKKε. In addition, we demonstrated that the RING domain is a key region for the antiviral effects of TIRM35. These results collectively indicate that TRIM35 negatively regulates type I interferon (IFN-I) production by targeting and deubiquitinating STING. TRIM35 may be a potential therapeutic target for controlling viral infection.
