Abstract
- Subcellular localization analysis implicated that CiPRMT6 was mainly located in the nucleus, with a small part of them located in the cytoplasm. PRMT6, namely protein arginine methyltransferase 6, was first identified and demonstrated to catalyze the methylation of arginine residue on the chromatin histones in mammals. Mammalian PRMT6 usually acts as an arginine methyltransferase in the nucleus, but induces antiviral innate immune response in the cytoplasm. Nowadays, there have been few reports about PRMT6 in teleost. In this study, we investigated the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction of PRMT6 expression and IFN1 response in grass carp. We first cloned and identified a grass carp PRMT6 (named CiPRMT6, MN781672.1), which is 1068bp in length encoding a deduced polypeptide of 355 amino acids. In CIK cell, CiPRMT6 expression was up-regulated upon stimulation with poly (I:C); while overexpression of PRMT6 suppressed the promoter activity of grass carp IFN1 and reduced the phosphorylation of IRF3; however, the amount of PRMT6 mutant (lack of methyltransferase domain) was increased in the cytoplasm. Our results also showed that grass carp PRMT6 and IRF3 (but not TBK1) were co-located and bound to each other in the cytoplasm. The binding of CiPRMT6 to IRF3 impairs the interaction between TBK1 and IRF3, indicating that CiPRMT6 is a negative regulator for IFN1 expression through TBK1-IRF3 signaling pathway in grass carp. In conclusion, we identified that CiPRMT6 negatively regulated IFN1 expression by inhibiting the TBK1-IRF3 interaction as well as IRF3 phosphorylation.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
