RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) play a key role in antiviral and inflammatory responses. Increasing evidence indicates that ubiquitination is crucial for regulation of RIG-I signaling pathway. Several ubiquitin ligases were reported to be involved in RIG-I-mediated signal transduction. In the present study, we demonstrated zebrafish RING finger protein 135 (zbRNF135) was a critical player in the regulation of RIG-I signaling pathway. zbRNF135 mRNA was widely expressed in different tissues of zebrafish. The expression of zbRNF135 was up regulated post poly(I:C) treatment in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, the expression profiles of RIG-I signaling pathway related genes (LGP2, MDA5, RIG-I, MAVS, TRAF3, IRF3 and IRF7), together with its downstream molecules (IFN1, ISG15, Mx and PKR), were up-regulated by overexpression of zbRNF135 in ZF4 cells. Luciferase and ubiquitination assays revealed that overexpression of zbRNF135 facilitated zebrafish RIG-I (zbRIG-I)-mediated IFN1 promoter activation by mediating K63-linked ubiquitination of zbRIG-I. The co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that zbRNF135 specifically interacted with zbRIG-I. Our study indicated that zbRNF135 participated in innate immune response through modulating RIG-I signaling pathway.
