Here, we show that, in response to viral RNA, OPTN NF- B signalling centres around the NF- B transcription factor translocates to foci in the perinuclear region, where it negatively complex which, under non-stimulated conditions, is inhibited κ regulates NF-κB and IRF3 signalling pathways and downstream pro- through binding to I B proteins. In response to stimuli, such as inflammatory cytokine secretion. These OPTN foci consist of a tight TLR3 or RIG-I ligation, the pathway is switched on leading to cluster of small membrane vesicles, which are positive for ATG9A. activation of the IKK complex, composed of two kinase subunits α β Disease mutations in OPTN linked to primary open-angle glaucoma (IKK and IKK ; also known as CHUK and IKBKB, respectively) γ κ (POAG) cause aberrant foci formation in the absence of stimuli, which and a regulatory subunit IKK [IKBKG; also known as NF- B κ correlates with the ability of OPTN to inhibit signalling. By using essential modulator (NEMO)], which phosphorylates I B proteins proximity labelling proteomics, we identify the linear ubiquitin and triggers their subsequent degradation. This degradation releases κ assembly complex (LUBAC), CYLD and TBK1 as part of the OPTN the NF- B complex, allowing it to translocate to the nucleus and interactome and show that these proteins are recruited to this OPTN- induce expression of numerous target genes (Perkins, 2007).

Our work uncovers a crucial role additional critical step in this pathway is the linear M1-linked for OPTN in dampening NF-κB and IRF3 signalling through ubiquitylation of NEMO and receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 the sequestration of LUBAC and other positive regulators in this (RIPK1) by the linear ubiquitin assembly complex (LUBAC), viral RNA-induced compartment, leading to altered pro-inflammatory which consists of HOIP (RNF31), HOIL1 (RBCK1) and SHARPIN cytokine secretion.

OPTN is INTRODUCTION highly similar to NEMO, with around 52% sequence similarity, and Pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are recognised by shares its linear ubiquitin-binding UBAN domain (Schwamborn pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), such as Toll-like receptors et al., 2000; Wagner et al., 2008). However, unlike NEMO, OPTN (TLRs), and trigger a range of adaptive and innate immune cannot bind to IKKα or IKKβ and therefore cannot rescue NF-κB responses in the host (Takeuchi and Akira, 2010). For example, activity in NEMO-deficient cells (Schwamborn et al., 2000). activation of TLR3 or RIG-I (also known as DDX58) by double- Instead, OPTN appears to antagonise NEMO function by stranded viral RNA activates signalling cascades culminating in the competitively binding to ubiquitylated RIPK1 and can thereby activation of transcription factors including nuclear factor κB inhibit TNFα-induced NF-κB activation (Zhu et al., 2007).

    Methods Mice: 4-6 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson labs were used for cell isolation. Female Foxp3-IRES-GFP reporter mice (1), backcrossed to B6/C57 background for 10 generations, were used for the isolation of naïve CD4 and naïve CD8 cells for the RNAseq experiments. The mice were housed in pathogen-free animal facility in the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and were used according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee. Preparation of cells: Subsets of thymocytes were isolated by cell sorting as previously described (2), after cell surface staining using CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD3ε (145- 2C11), CD24 (M1/69) (all from Biolegend). DP cells: CD4+CD8 int/hi; CD4 SP cells: CD4CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo; CD8 SP cells: CD8 int/hi CD4 CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo (Fig S2). Peripheral subsets were isolated after pooling spleen and lymph nodes. T cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads (Dynabeads untouched mouse T cells, 11413D, Invitrogen). After surface staining for CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD62L (MEL-14), CD25 (PC61) and CD44 (IM7), naïve CD4+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo and naïve CD8+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo were obtained by sorting (BD FACS Aria). Additionally, for the RNAseq experiments, CD4 and CD8 naïve cells were isolated by sorting T cells from the Foxp3- IRES-GFP mice: CD4+CD62LhiCD25–CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– and CD8+CD62LhiCD25– CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– (antibodies were from Biolegend). In some cases, naïve CD4 cells were cultured in vitro under Th1 or Th2 polarizing conditions (3, 4).

Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human HOIP/RNF31 protein. Background HOIL-1-interacting protein (HOIP/RNF31), a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase, is the catalytic subunit of the Linear Ubiquitin Chain Assembly Complex (LUBAC) that is associated with TNF-R1 (1). Research studies have shown that the LUBAC consists of three subunits: HOIP, HOIL-1L, and Sharpin that facilitate canonical NF-kB activation in response to pro inflammatory cytokines through M1-linked linear ubiquitination of NEMO and RIP1 (2-6). As part of the LUBAC, HOIP has also been implicated in the negative regulation of interferon-mediated antiviral signaling through the suppression of RIG-I activation (7).

Overall, 43 interactions between EBV proteins and 173 about these proteins; therefore, a more detailed mapping of their interactions between EBV and human proteins were identified. interactions with core herpesvirus proteins, other gamma- EBV–EBV and EBV–human protein interaction, or ‘‘interactome’’ specific proteins, and human proteins is important for under- maps provided a framework for hypotheses of protein function.
