Abstract
USP14 regulates the immune related pathways by deubiquitinating the signaling molecules in mammals. In teleost, USP14 is also reported to inhibit the antiviral immune response through TBK1, but its regulatory mechanism remains obscure. To elucidate the role of USP14 in the RLR/IFN antiviral pathway in teleost, the homolog USP14 (bcUSP14) of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) has been cloned and characterize in this paper. bcUSP14 contains 490 amino acids (aa), and the sequence is well conserved among in vertebrates. Over-expression of bcUSP14 in EPC cells attenuated SVCV-induced transcription activity of IFN promoters and enhanced SVCV replication. Knockdown of bcUSP14 in MPK cells led to the increased transcription of IFNs and decreased SVCV replication, suggesting the improved antiviral activity of the host cells. The interaction between bcUSP14 and bcTBK1 was identified by both co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescent staining. Co-expressed bcUSP14 obviously inhibited bcTBK1-induced IFN production and antiviral activity in EPC cells. K63-linked polyubiquitination of bcTBK1 was dampened by co-expressed bcUSP14, and bcTBK1-mediated phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of IRF3 were also inhibited by this deubiquitinase. Thus, all the data demonstrated that USP14 interacts with and inhibits TBK1 through deubiquitinating TBK1 in black carp.

Abstract
The nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein Tu translation elongation factor, mitochondrial (TUFM) is well-known for its role in mitochondrial protein translation. Originally discovered in yeast, TUFM demonstrates significant evolutionary conservation from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. Dysregulation of TUFM has been associated with mitochondrial disorders. Although early hypothesis suggests that TUFM is localized within mitochondria, recent studies identify its presence in the cytoplasm, with this subcellular distribution being linked to distinct functions of TUFM. Significantly, in addition to its established function in mitochondrial protein quality control, recent research indicates a broader involvement of TUFM in the regulation of programmed cell death processes (e.g., autophagy, apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis) and its diverse roles in viral infection, cancer, and other disease conditions. This review seeks to offer a current summary of TUFM's biological functions and its complex regulatory mechanisms in human health and disease. Insight into these intricate pathways controlled by TUFM may lead to the potential development of targeted therapies for a range of human diseases.

Abstract
The precise control of interferon (IFN) production is indispensable for the host to eliminate invading viruses and maintain a homeostatic state. In mammals, stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is a prominent adaptor involved in antiviral immune signaling pathways. However, the regulatory mechanism of piscine STING has not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we report that autophagy related 16 like 1 (bcATG16L1) of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) is a negative regulator in black carp STING (bcSTING)-mediated signaling pathway. Initially, we substantiated that knockdown of bcATG16L1 increased the transcription of IFN and ISGs and enhanced the antiviral activity of the host cells. Subsequently, we identified that bcATG16L1 inhibited the bcSTING-mediated IFN promoter activation and proved that bcATG16L1 suppressed bcSTING-mediated antiviral ability. Furthermore, we revealed that bcATG16L1 interacted with bcSTING and the two proteins shared a similar subcellular distribution. Mechanically, we found that bcATG16L1 attenuated the oligomerization of bcSTING, which was a key step for bcSTING activation. Taken together, our results indicate that bcATG16L1 interacts with bcSTING, dampens the oligomerization of bcSTING, and negatively regulates bcSTING-mediated antiviral activity.

Abstract
In mammals, NLRX1 is a unique member of the nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) family showing an ability to negatively regulate IFN antiviral immunity. Intron-containing genes, including NLRX1, have more than one transcript due to alternative splicing; however, little is known about the function of its splicing variants. Here, we identified a transcript variant of NLRX1 in zebrafish (Danio rerio), termed NLRX1-tv4, as a negative regulator of fish IFN response. Zebrafish NLRX1-tv4 was slightly induced by viral infection, with an expression pattern similar to the full-length NLRX1. Despite the lack of an N-terminal domain that exists in the full-length NLRX1, overexpression of NLRX1-tv4 still impaired fish IFN antiviral response and promoted viral replication in fish cells, similar to the full-length NLRX1. Mechanistically, NLRX1-tv4 targeted STING for proteasome-dependent protein degradation by recruiting an E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF5 to drive the K48-linked ubiquitination, eventually downregulating the IFN antiviral response. Mapping of NLRX1-tv4 domains showed that its N-terminal and C-terminal regions exhibited a similar potential to inhibit STING-mediated IFN antiviral response. Our findings reveal that like the full-length NLRX1, zebrafish NLRX-tv4 functions as an inhibitor to shape fish IFN antiviral response.IMPORTANCEIn this study, we demonstrate that a transcript variant of zebrafish NLRX1, termed NLRX1-tv4, downregulates fish IFN response and promotes virus replication by targeting STING for protein degradation and impairing the interaction of STING and TBK1 and that its N- and C-terminus exhibit a similar inhibitory potential. Our results are helpful in clarifying the current contradictory understanding of structure and function of vertebrate NLRX1s.

Abstract
Mammalian DDX23 is involved in multiple biological processes, such as RNA processing and antiviral responses. However, the function of teleost DDX23 still remains unclear. In this paper, we have cloned the DDX23 homologue of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) (bcDDX23) and elucidated its role in the antiviral innate immunity. The coding region of bcDDX23 comprises 2427 nucleotides and encodes 809 amino acids. The transcription of bcDDX23 was promoted by the stimulation of LPS, poly(I:C), and SVCV; and immunoblotting (IB) assay showed that bcDDX23 migrated aground 94.5 kDa. Immunofluorescence (IF) assay revealed that bcDDX23 was mainly distributed in the nucleus, and the amount of cytosolic bcDDX23 was significantly increased after SVCV infection. The reporter assay showed that bcDDX23 inhibited bcMAVS-mediated transcription of the IFN promoter. And the co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assays identified the interaction between bcDDX23 and bcMAVS. Furthermore, co-expressed bcDDX23 significantly inhibited bcMAVS-mediated antiviral ability against SVCV in EPC cells, and knockdown of bcDDX23 enhanced the resistance of host cells against SVCV. Overall, our results conclude that bcDDX23 targets bcMAVS and suppresses MAVS-mediated IFN signaling, which sheds light on the regulation of IFN signaling in teleost fish.

Abstract
Autophagy related 16 like 1 (ATG16L1) is a crucial component of autophagy that regulates the formation of the autophagosome. In mammals, ATG16L1 also performs important roles in immunity, including controlling viral replication and regulating innate immune signaling; however, investigation on the role of piscine ATG16L1 in immunity is rare. In this report, the ATG16L1 homolog of black carp Mylopharyngodon piceus (bcATG16L1) was cloned and identified, and its negative regulatory role in mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS)-mediated antiviral signaling was described. The coding region of bcATG16L1 consists of 1830 nucleotides and encodes 609 amino acids, including one coiled-coil domain at the N-terminus, three low complexity region domains in the middle, and seven WD40 domains at the C-terminus. By immunofluorescence assay and immunoblotting, we found that bcATG16L1 is a cytosolic protein with a molecular weight of ∼74 kDa. In addition, over-expression of bcATG16L1 suppressed bcMAVS-mediated bcIFNa and DrIFNφ1 promoters transcriptional activity and inhibited bcMAVS-mediated antiviral activity. We further confirmed the co-localization of bcATG16L1 and bcMAVS by immunofluorescence assay and verified the protein interaction between bcATG16L1 and bcMAVS by immunoprecipitation assay. Our results report for the first time that black carp ATG16L1 suppresses MAVS-mediated antiviral signaling in teleost fish.

Abstract
Teleosts rely on innate immunity to recognize and defense against pathogenic microorganisms. RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) family is the major pattern recognition receptor (PRR) to detect RNA viruses. After recognition of viral RNA components, these cytosolic sensors activate downstream signaling cascades to induce the expression of type I interferons (IFNs) and other cytokines firing antiviral responses. Meanwhile, numerous molecules take part in the complex regulation of RLR signals by various methods, such as post-translational modification (PTM), to produce an immune response that is appropriately balanced. In this review, we summarize our recent understanding of PTMs and other regulatory proteins in modulating RLR signaling pathway, which is helpful for systematically studying the regulatory mechanism of antiviral innate immunity of teleost fish.

Abstract
Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) is as an adaptor in RIG-I like receptor (RLR) signaling, which plays the key role in interferon (IFN) production during host antiviral innate immune activation. MAVS is fine tuned to avoid excess IFN production, which have been extensively studied in human and mammals. However, the regulation of MAVS in teleost still remains obscure. In this manuscript, we cloned ring finger protein 5 (bcRNF5) of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) and characterized this teleost E3 ubiquitin ligase as a negative regulator of MAVS. The coding region of bcRNF5 consists of 615 nucleotides which encode 205 amino acids, containing two trans-membrane domain (TM) and a ring-finger domain (RING). The transcription regulation of bcRNF5 varies in host cells in response to stimulations of LPS, poly (I:C), grass carp reovirus (GCRV) and spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV). bcRNF5 migrates around 22 KDa in immunoblot (IB) assay and distributes mainly in cytoplasm by immunofluorescent (IF) staining test. Moreover, bcRNF5 significantly inhibits bcMAVS-mediated IFN promoter transcription. In addition, both IF and co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that bcRNF5 interacts with bcMAVS. Furthermore, bcMAVS-mediated antiviral ability is distinctly impaired by bcRNF5. Taken together, these results conclude that bcRNF5, as a negative regulator of the MAVS-mediated IFN signaling, may play a key role in host protection upon virus infection in black carp.

Abstract
Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) is activated by IκB kinase ε (IKKε) and Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), which plays a crucial role in the interferon signaling in vertebrates. However, the regulation of teleost IRF3 by IKKε remains largely unknown. In this study, the IRF3 homologue (bcIRF3) of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) has been cloned and characterized. The transcription of bcIRF3 was detected to increase in host cells in response to different stimuli. bcIRF3 distributed predominantly in the cytosolic area; however, translocated into nuclei after virus infection. bcIRF3 showed IFN-inducing ability in reporter assay and EPC cells expressing bcIRF3 showed enhanced antiviral ability against both grass carp reovirus (GCRV) and spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV). Moreover, knockdown of bcIRF3 reduced the antiviral ability of the host cells, and the transcription of antiviral-related cytokines was obviously lower in bcIRF3-deficient host cells than that of control cells. The data of reporter assay and plaque assay demonstrated that bcIKKε obviously enhanced bcIRF3-mediated IFN production and antiviral activity. Immunofluorescent staining and co-immunoprecipitation assay revealed that bcIKKε interacted with bcIRF3. It was interesting that the nuclear translocation of bcIRF3 and bcIKKε was enhanced by each other when these two molecules were co-expressed in the cells, however, the protein levels of bcIRF3 and bcIKKε were decreased mutually. Thus, our data support the conclusion that bcIKKε interacts with bcIRF3 and enhances bcIRF3-mediated antiviral signaling during host innate immune activation.
