Recently, Dr.
Zhu Huifang from the First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical College was invited to publish a review in Trends in Microbiology: When PARPs Meet Antiviral Innate Immunity, systematically reviewed the latest research progress in related fields, and summarized the role of PARPs in regulating the body's antiviral natural immunity And its molecular mechanism
.

This article focuses on the regulatory functions of PAPRs family members in the antiviral innate immune signal pathway
.

Innate immunity is the first line of defense against virus immunity, and it plays an important role in the control of virus infection and replication
.

The classic antiviral innate immunity is the release of Type I interferon (IFN-I) mediated by pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) and the downstream JAK-STAT (Janus kinase-signal transducer and The activation of transcription signal pathway induces the production of a large number of Interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs)
.

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase PARPs (Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase) are a superfamily of multifunctional protein post-translational modification enzymes that exist in most eukaryotes.
They are responsible for transferring ADP-ribose groups to the target.
Proteins and target proteins are modified by ADP ribosylation (ADPr), which is widely involved in important biological processes such as DNA damage repair, transcription regulation, and chromosomal protein remodeling
.

In mammals, a total of 17 PARP family members have been found, named PARP1-16.
Among them, PARP5 has two subtypes, PARP5a and PARP5b
.

Recent studies have shown that PARPs not only play an irreplaceable role in maintaining genome stability and regulating signal pathways, but also play an important regulatory role in antiviral natural immunity
.

Figure 1.
The members of the PARPs family regulate the antiviral innate immune signal pathway PARP13, also known as ZAP (zinc-fingerantiviral protein).
It is one of the PARPs family members with antiviral functions that have been studied in depth
.

ZAP can not only directly bind to the genome and mRNA of RNA viruses and mediate their degradation, thereby inhibiting virus replication, but also can promote the oligomerization of RIG-I by binding to the pattern recognition receptor RIG-I (Retinoicacidinducible gene-I).
Polymerization, thereby enhancing the signal transmission function of RIG-I and mediating the production of IFN-I
.

In addition, some PARPs, such as PARP9, also have regulatory effects on the JAK-STAT signaling pathway
.

PARP9 interacts with E3 ubiquitin ligase DTX3L (E3 ubiquitin ligase Deltex E3 ubiquitin ligase 3L) and forms a complex to further promote STAT1 to enter the nucleus and regulate the transcription of ISGs
.

Figure 2.
Direct antiviral effects of PARPs family members and immune escape strategies of viruses In addition to promoting the host's antiviral natural immune response, some members of the PARPs family also assist the virus to complete immune escape
.

PARP11 can promote the degradation of type I interferon receptor (IFN-α/β receptor, IFNAR) by the proteasome pathway; under normal physiological functions, PARP1 is usually located in the nucleus, while facing the influenza A virus (Influenza Avirus, IAV).
) During infection, hemagglutinin (HA) expressed by IAV can bring PARP1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and further induce the degradation of IFNAR
.

In addition, Coronavirus (CoV) can antagonize the antiviral function of PARP12 and PARP14 by expressing viral proteins containing conserved macrodomain domains, and achieve the effect of immune escape
.

Currently known PARPs involved in antiviral innate immune regulation mainly have a limiting effect on RNA viruses, but little is known about the innate immune regulation function in response to DNA virus infection; in addition, the pattern recognition receptors involved are also very limited.
So far, it has only been found to have a regulatory function on the innate immune response mediated by RIG-I
.

Therefore, in future research work, it may be possible to explore the role of PARPs in anti-DNA virus innate immunity and other pattern recognition receptor types, such as TLRs (Toll-like receptors) or DNA receptors such as cGAS-STING.
The function of the innate immune signaling pathway
.

PAPRs-mediated antiviral innate immunity will be a very promising and valuable research field in the future
