Trafficking of toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to endolysosomes and its subsequent proteolytic cleavage are required for it to sense viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and trigger antiviral response, yet the underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic. We show that the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM3 is mainly located in the Golgi apparatus and transported to the early endosomes upon stimulation with the dsRNA analog poly(I:C). TRIM3 mediates K63-linked polyubiquitination of TLR3 at K831, which is enhanced following poly(I:C) stimulation. The polyubiquitinated TLR3 is recognized and sorted by the ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) complexes to endolysosomes. Deficiency of TRIM3 impairs TLR3 trafficking from the Golgi apparatus to endosomes and its subsequent activation. Trim3(-/-) cells and mice express lower levels of antiviral genes and show lower levels of inflammatory response following poly(I:C) but not lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. These findings suggest that TRIM3-mediated polyubiquitination of TLR3 represents a feedback-positive regulatory mechanism for TLR3-mediated innate immune and inflammatory responses.
