Although the mechanisms of generation of signals that control transcriptional activation of Type III IFN (IFN lambda)-regulated genes have been identified, very little is known about the mechanisms by which the IFN lambda receptor generates signals for mRNA translation of IFN lambda-activated genes. We provide evidence that IFN lambda activates the p90 ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (RSK1) and its downstream effector, initiation factor eIF4B. Prior to its engagement by the IFN lambda receptor, the non-active form of RSK1 is present in a complex with the translational repressor 4E-BP1 in IFN lambda-sensitive cells. IFN lambda-inducible phosphorylation/activation of RSK1 results in its dissociation from 4E-BP1 at the same time that 4E-BP1 dissociates from eIF4E to allow formation of eIF4F and initiation of cap-dependent translation. Our studies demonstrate that such IFN lambda-dependent engagement of RSK1 is essential for up-regulation of p21(WAF1/CIP1) expression, suggesting a mechanism for generation of growth-inhibitory responses. Altogether, our data provide evidence for a critical role for the activated RSK1 in IFN lambda signaling.
