Virus infection leads to the activation of transcription factor IRF3 and subsequent production of type I inteferons, which induce the transcription of various antiviral genes called interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) to eliminate viral infection. IRF3 activation requires phosphorylation, dimerization and nuclear translocation. However, the mechanisms for the termination of IRF3 activation in nucleus are elusive. Here we report the identification of TRIM26 to negatively regulate IFN-β production and antiviral response by targeting nuclear IRF3. TRIM26 bound to IRF3 and promoted its K48-linked polyubiquitination and degradation in nucleus. TRIM26 degraded WT IRF3 and the constitutive active mutant IRF3 5D, but not the phosphorylation deficient mutant IRF3 5A. Furthermore, IRF3 mutant in the Nuclear Localization Signal (NLS), which could not move into nucleus, was not degraded by TRIM26. Importantly, virus infection promoted TRIM26 nuclear translocation, which was required for IRF3 degradation. As a consequence, TRIM26 attenuated IFN-β promoter activation and IFN-β production downstream of TLR3/4, RLR and DNA sensing pathways. TRIM26 transgenic mice showed much less IRF3 activation and IFN-β production, while increased virus replication. Our findings delineate a novel mechanism for the termination of IRF3 activation in nucleus through TRIM26-mediated IRF3 ubiquitination and degradation. Innate immunity is the first line of defense to protect host from infection of invading pathogens. Production of type I inteferons by the innate immune cells is pivotal for the cellular antiviral immune responses. After virus infection, IFN-β transcription requires IRF3, which is activated through phosphorylation, dimerization and nuclear translocation. Although IRF3 activation and IFN-β production are essential for the host to prevent viral infection, aberrant or excessive IFN-β production may lead to the pathogenesis of human autoimmune diseases. Therefore, IRF3 activation and IFN-β production must be terminated at the appropriate time points after viral infection. Degradation of IRF3 in the nucleus represents a novel mechanism to terminate IFN-β production. Here we identified TRIM26 as a novel E3 ligase to target nuclear IRF3. TRIM26 attenuated IFN-β production through polyubiquitination and degradation of nuclear IRF3. In vivo experiments with TRIM26 transgenic mice further confirmed the negative function of TRIM26 on IFN-β production and antiviral responses. Given that IRF3 is a common molecule downstream of TLR3, RLRs and intracellular DNA signaling pathways, our study identified a novel mechanism to limit RNA and DNA virus-induced signaling, inflammation and tissue injury and provided new clues for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
