The transcription factors p65 and IRF3 play key roles in the induction of cellular antiviral responses. Phosphorylation of p65 and IRF3 is required for their activity and constitutes a key checkpoint. Here we report that viral infection induced upregulation of INKIT, an inhibitor for NF-kB and IRF3 that restricted innate antiviral responses by blocking phosphorylation of p65 and IRF3. INKIT overexpression inhibited virus-induced phosphorylation of p65 and IRF3 and expression of downstream genes. In contrast, knockdown or knockout of INKIT had the opposite effect: Inkit(-/-) mice produced elevated levels of type I interferons and proinflammatory cytokines and were more resistant to lethal viral infection compared to wild-type. INKIT interacted with IKKa/b and TBK1/IKK 3, impairing the recruitment and phosphorylation of p65 and IRF3. Viral infection induced IKK-mediated phosphorylation of INKIT at Ser58, resulting in its dissociation from the IKKs. Our findings thus uncover INKIT as a regulator of innate antiviral responses.
