- Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is the most economically significant disease caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Type I interferon (IFN) induces a large number of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) expression to inhibit PRRSV infection. To survive in the host, PRRSV has evolved multiple strategies to antagonize host innate immune response. Previous studies have reported that PRRSV N protein decreases the expression of TRIM25 and TRIM25-mediated RIG-I ubiquitination to suppress IFN-β production. However, whether other PRRSV proteins inhibit the antiviral function of TRIM25 is less well understood. In this study, we first found that PRRSV NSP1α decreased ISGylation of TRIM25. Meanwhile, NSP1α significantly suppressed TRIM25-mediated IFN-β production to promote PRRSV replication. Further studies demonstrated that PRRSV NSP1α reduced the protein level of TRIM25 in proteasome system but did not regulate the transcription level of TRIM25. In addition, the function of NSP1α in TRIM25 degradation did not rely on its papain-like cysteine protease activity. Taken together, PRRSV NSP1α antagonizes the antiviral response of TRIM25 by mediating TRIM25 degradation to promote PRRSV replication. Our data identify TRIM25 as a natural target of PRRSV NSP1α and reveal a novel mechanism that PRRSV induces TRIM25 degradation and inhibits host antiviral immune response., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
