Mitochondrial dynamics regulate the RIG-I-like receptor antiviral pathwayMitochondrial dynamics regulate the RIG-I-like receptor antiviral pathwaytextjournalArticleCastanierC.autGarcinD.autVazquezA.autArnoultD.authttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20019757The intracellular retinoic acid-inducible gene I-like receptors (RLRs) sense viral ribonucleic acid and signal through the mitochondrial protein mitochondrial antiviral signalling (MAVS) to trigger the production of type I interferons and proinflammatory cytokines. In this study, we report that RLR activation promotes elongation of the mitochondrial network. Mimicking this elongation enhances signalling downstream from MAVS and favours the binding of MAVS to stimulator of interferon genes, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein involved in the RLR pathway. By contrast, enforced mitochondrial fragmentation dampens signalling and reduces the association between both proteins. Our finding that MAVS is associated with a pool of mitofusin 1, a protein of the mitochondrial fusion machinery, suggests that MAVS is capable of regulating mitochondrial dynamics to facilitate the mitochondria-ER association required for signal transduction. Importantly, we observed that viral mitochondria-localized inhibitor of apoptosis, a cytomegalovirus (CMV) antiapoptotic protein that promotes mitochondrial fragmentation, inhibits signalling downstream from MAVS, suggesting a possible new immune modulation strategy of the CMV.Antiviral Agents/*metabolism CellsCultured HeLa Cells Humans ImmunityInnate/*physiology Membrane Proteins/metabolism Mitochondria/immunology/*metabolism/*physiology Mitochondrial Proteins/metabolism Organelle Shape/immunology Organelle Size/immunology Protein Binding ReceptorsRetinoic Acid/metabolism/*physiology Signal Transduction/immunology Virus Diseases/immunology/metabolismjournal1121338February 2010continuing1469-3178 (ELECTRONIC) 1469-221X (LINKING)EMBO Rep
