Membrane-associated RING-CH-type finger (MARCH) proteins have been reported to regulate type I IFN pro-duction during host antiviral innate immunity. The present study reported the zebrafish MARCH family member, MARCH7, as a negative regulator in virus-triggered type I IFN induction via targeting TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) for degradation. As an IFN-stimulated gene (ISG), we discovered that MARCH7 was significantly induced by spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) or poly(I:C) stimulation. Ectopic expression of MARCH7 reduced the activity of IFN promoter and dampened the cellular antiviral responses triggered by SVCV and grass carp reovirus (GCRV), which concomitantly accelerated the viral replication. Accordingly, the knockdown of MARCH7 by siRNA transfection significantly promoted the transcription of ISG genes and inhibited SVCV replication. Mechanistically, we found that MARCH7 interacted with TBK1 and degraded it via K48-linked ubiquitination. Further characterization of truncated mutants of MARCH7 and TBK1 confirmed that the C-terminal RING of MARCH7 is essential in the MARCH7-mediated degradation of TBK1 and the negative regulation of IFN antiviral response. This study reveals a molecular mechanism by which zebrafish MARCH7 negatively regulates the IFN response by targeting TBK1 for protein degradation, providing new insights into the essential role of MARCH7 in antiviral innate immunity. |
