The innate immune system is essential for controlling viral infections, but several viruses have evolved strategies to escape innate immunity. RIG-I is a cytoplasmic viral RNA sensor that triggers the signal to induce type I interferon production in response to viral infection. RIG-I activation is regulated by the K63-linked polyubiquitin chain mediated by Riplet and TRIM25 ubiquitin ligases. TRIM25 is required for RIG-I oligomerization and interaction with the IPS-1 adaptor molecule. A knockout study revealed that Riplet was essential for RIG-I activation. However the molecular mechanism underlying RIG-I activation by Riplet remains unclear, and the functional differences between Riplet and TRIM25 are also unknown. A genetic study and a pull-down assay indicated that Riplet was dispensable for RIG-I RNA binding activity but required for TRIM25 to activate RIG-I. Mutational analysis demonstrated that Lys-788 within the RIG-I repressor domain was critical for Riplet-mediated K63-linked polyubiquitination and that Riplet was required for the release of RIG-I autorepression of its N-terminal CARDs, which leads to the association of RIG-I with TRIM25 ubiquitin ligase and TBK1 protein kinase. Our data indicate that Riplet is a prerequisite for TRIM25 to activate RIG-I signaling. We investigated the biological importance of this mechanism in human cells and found that hepatitis C virus (HCV) abrogated this mechanism. Interestingly, HCV NS3-4A proteases targeted the Riplet protein and abrogated endogenous RIG-I polyubiquitination and association with TRIM25 and TBK1, emphasizing the biological importance of this mechanism in human antiviral innate immunity. In conclusion, our results establish that Riplet-mediated K63-linked polyubiquitination released RIG-I RD autorepression, which allowed the access of positive factors to the RIG-I protein. The cytoplasmic viral RNA sensor RIG-I recognizes various types of pathogenic viruses and evokes innate immune responses, whereas several viruses have evolved strategies to escape the host innate immune responses. RIG-I triggers a signal to induce type I interferon and inflammatory cytokines. RIG-I activation is regulated by K63-linked polyubiquitin chains mediated by the ubiquitin ligases TRIM25 and Riplet; however, the functional difference between the two ubiquitin ligases remains unclear, and the molecular mechanism underlying Riplet-mediated RIG-I activation is unknown. We revealed sequential roles of the two ubiquitin ligases during RIG-I activation and found that Riplet-mediated polyubiquitination of the RIG-I repressor domain released RIG-I autorepression of its N-terminal CARDs responsible for triggering the signal, which resulted in an association with TRIM25 ubiquitin ligase and TBK1 protein kinase. Interestingly, we found that this mechanism was targeted by hepatitis C virus, which is a major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma. This result emphasizes the vital role of Riplet-mediated release of RIG-I RD autorepression in antiviral responses. Our results establish that Riplet releases RIG-I RD autorepression and demonstrated the biological significance of this mechanism in human innate immune responses.
