Recently, Zika virus (ZIKV) has generated extraordinary concern because of its severe neurotoxicity. Disturbingly, there is no vaccine or specific drug to prevent or treat the diseases caused by ZIKV infection. Thus, it is extremely urgent to characterize the pathogenesis of ZIKV. It has been documented that ZIKV can evade antiviral responses of host cells. Here, we demonstrate that ZIKV strain SZ‐WIV01 down‐regulates the production of type I IFN and IFN‐stimulated genes along with the expression of mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) and mediator of IFN regulatory factor 3 activation (MITA). In the mechanism, ZIKV nonstructural (NS) 3 and NS2B3 negatively regulate IFN‐related retinoic acid‐inducible gene I‐like receptor signaling pathway by targeting MAVS and MITA, respectively. Overexpression of ZIKV NS3 and NS2B3 dramatically inhibits expression of IFN‐β. ZIKV NS3 interacts with MAVS, and NS2B3 interacts with MITA, which catalyzes K48‐linked polyubiquitination of MAVS and MITA for degradation. Further investigations suggest that ZIKV NS2B3 impairs polyinosinicpolycytidylic acid‐triggered K63‐linked polyubiquitination of MITA, thereby subverting the activation of downstream sensors. Our study reveals an undiscovered mechanism for ZIKV to escape the innate immune response, providing new insights into clinical study of vaccines or effective drugs.—Li, W., Li, N., Dai, S., Hou, G., Guo, K., Chen, X., Yi, C., Liu, W., Deng, F., Wu, Y., Cao, X.
