Abstract:
Mammalian Pellino isoforms are phosphorylated by IRAK (interleukin receptor associated kinase) 1/IRAK4 in vitro, converting them into active E3 ubiquitin ligases. In the present paper we report a striking enhancement in both transcription of the gene encoding Pellino 1 and Pellino 1 protein expression when murine BMDMs (bone-marrow-derived macrophages) are stimulated with LPS (lipopolysaccharide) or poly(I:C). This induction occurs via a TRIF [TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor)-domain-containing adaptor-inducing interferon-β]-dependent IRAK-independent pathway and is prevented by inhibition of the IKK [IκB (inhibitor of nuclear factor κB) kinase] -related protein kinases, TBK1 {TANK [TRAF (tumour-necrosis-factor-receptor-associated factor)-associated nuclear factor κB activator]-binding kinase 1} and IKKϵ. Pellino 1 is not induced in IRF3 (interferon regulatory factor 3)−/− BMDMs, and its induction is only reduced slightly in type 1 interferon receptor−/− BMDMs, identifying Pellino 1 as a new IRF3-dependent gene. We also identify Pellino 1 in a two-hybrid screen using IKKϵ as bait, and show that IKKϵ/TBK1 activate Pellino 1 in vitro by phosphorylating Ser76, Thr288 and Ser293. Moreover, we show that the E3 ligase activity of endogenous Pellino 1 is activated in LPS- or poly(I:C)-stimulated macrophages. This occurs more rapidly than the increase in Pellino 1 mRNA and protein expression, is prevented by the inhibition of IKKϵ/TBK1 and is reversed by phosphatase treatment. Thus IKKϵ/TBK1 mediate the activation of Pellino 1's E3 ligase activity, as well as inducing the transcription of its gene and protein expression in response to TLR3 and TLR4 agonists.
