ABSTRACT
Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) is an emerging pathogenic flavivirus that mainly causes a decrease in egg production in infected waterfowl. Similar to other members of the Flaviviridae family, it can proliferate in most mammalian cells and may also pose a potential threat to nonavian animals. In previous studies, we found that DTMUV infection can upregulate suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) to inhibit type I interferon (IFN) production and promote virus replication, but the specific mechanism is unclear. Furthermore, little is known about the regulatory role of ubiquitination during flavivirus infection. In this study, we found that activation of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) signaling rather than type I IFN stimulation led to the upregulation of SOCS1 during DTMUV infection. Further studies revealed that JOSD1 stabilized SOCS1 expression by binding to the SH2 domain of SOCS1 and mediating its deubiquitination. In addition, JOSD1 also inhibited type I IFN production through SOCS1. Finally, SOCS1 acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that binds to IFN regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) through its SH2 domain and mediates K48-linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of IRF7, ultimately inhibiting type I IFN production mediated by IRF7 and promoting viral proliferation. These results will enrich and deepen our understanding of the mechanism by which DTMUV antagonizes the host interferon system. IMPORTANCE DTMUV is a newly discovered flavivirus that seriously harms the poultry industry. In recent years, there have been numerous studies on the involvement of ubiquitination in the regulation of innate immunity. However, little is known about the involvement of ubiquitination in the regulation of flavivirus-induced type I IFN signaling. In this study, we found that SOCS1 was induced by TLR3 signaling during DTMUV infection. Furthermore, we found for the first time that duck SOCS1 protein was also modified by K48-linked polyubiquitination, whereas our previous study found that SOCS1 was upregulated during DTMUV infection. Further studies showed that JOSD1 stabilized SOCS1 expression by mediating the deubiquitination of SOCS1. While SOCS1 acts as a negative regulator of cytokines, we found that DTMUV utilized SOCS1 to mediate the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of IRF7 and ultimately inhibit type I IFN production, thereby promoting its proliferation.
