This study reveals that RNF144A interacts with STING and enhances its translocation from the ER to the Golgi through K6-linked ubiquitination, thereby promoting the signaling pathways triggered by DNA virus or cytosolic DNA. RNF144A overexpression enhances immune responses, while knockdown of RNF144A has the opposite effect.
Stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING, also named MITA, ERIS, MPYS, or TMEM173) plays an essential role in DNA virus- or cytosolic DNA-triggered innate immune responses. Here, we demonstrate that the RING-in-between RING (RBR) E3 ubiquitin ligase family member RING-finger protein (RNF) 144A interacts with STING and promotes its K6-linked ubiquitination at K236, thereby enhancing STING translocation from the ER to the Golgi and downstream signaling pathways. The K236R mutant of STING displays reduced activity in promoting innate immune signal transduction. Overexpression of RNF144A upregulates HSV-1- or cytosolic DNA-induced immune responses, while knockdown of RNF144A expression has the opposite effect. In addition, Rnf144a-eficient cells exhibit impaired DNA virus- or cytosolic DNAtriggered signaling, and RNF144A protects mice from DNA virus infection. In contrast, RNF144A does not affect RNA virus- or cytosolic RNA-triggered innate immune responses. Taken together, our findings identify a new positive regulator of DNA virus- or cytosolic DNA-triggered signaling pathways and a critical ubiquitination site important for fully functional STING during antiviral responses.
