Abstrakt: The cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS)-dependent pathway is a key DNA-sensing pathway that recognizes cytosolic DNA and plays a crucial role in initiating innate immune responses against pathogenic microbes and cancer. Various molecules have been identified as regulators of the cGAS-dependent pathway that controls innate immune responses. However, despite the important roles of Stimulator-of-interferon genes (STING) in the cGAS-dependent pathway, the regulation of its activation has not been elucidated. Here, we show that the E3 ubiquitin ligase, RING finger protein 39 (RNF39), interacts with STING in macrophages and HERK293T cells. Moreover, RNF39 accelerates DNA-sensing pathways by promoting lysine (K)63-linked ubiquitination of STING, and then facilitating the formation of STING-TBK1 complex. Concordantly, Rnf39 deficiency inhibits innate immune responses triggered by DNA viral infection and accelerates viral replication. Furthermore, herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection induces RNF39 expression in an IFN-I-dependent manner. Thus, we outline a novel mechanism for controlling STING activation and a feedback mechanism for controlling antiviral immune responses. RNF39 could be a priming intervention target for the prevention and treatment of viral diseases, especially DNA viral infections.
