USP13 Cooperates with MARCH8 to Inhibit Antiviral Signaling by Targeting MAVS for Autophagic Degradation in Teleost
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS), as a central adapter protein in retinoic acid-inducible gene I-like receptor signaling, is indispensable for innate antiviral immunity. Yet, the molecular mechanisms modulating the stability of MAVS are not fully understood in low vertebrates. In this study, we report that the deubiquitinase ubiquitin-specific protease 13 (USP13) acts as a negative regulator of antiviral immunity by targeting MAVS for selective autophagic degradation in teleost fish. USP13 is induced by RNA virus or polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid stimulation and acts as a negative regulator to potentiate viral replication in fish cells. Mechanistically, USP13 functions as a scaffold to enhance the interaction between MAVS and the E3 ubiquitin ligase MARCH8, thus promoting MARCH8 to catalyze MAVS through K27-linked polyubiquitination for selective autophagic degradation. Taken together, to our knowledge, our study demonstrates a novel mechanism by which viruses evade host antiviral immunity via USP13 in fish and provides a new idea for mammalian innate antiviral immunity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
