摘要

Cytosolic long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), among the most potent proinflammatory signals, is recognized by MDA5. MDA5 binds dsRNA cooperatively, forming helical filaments. ATP hydrolysis by MDA5 fulfills a proofreading function by promoting dissociation of shorter endogenous dsRNAs from MDA5 while allowing longer viral dsRNAs to remain bound leading to activation of interferon-{beta} responses. Here, we show that adjacent MDA5 subunits in MDA5-dsRNA filaments hydrolyze ATP cooperatively, inducing cooperative filament disassembly. This amplifies the RNA footprint expansion that accompanies each round of ATP hydrolysis and allows MDA5 to displace tightly bound proteins from dsRNA. Our electron microscopy and biochemical assays show that LGP2 binds to dsRNA at internal binding sites through noncooperative ATP hydrolysis. Unlike MDA5, LGP2 has low nucleic acid selectivity and can hydrolyze GTP and CTP as well as ATP. Binding of LGP2 to dsRNA promotes nucleation of MDA5 filament assembly resulting in shorter filaments. Molecular modeling of the MDA5-LGP2 interface suggests that MDA5 interacts with dsRNA stem-bound rather than end-bound LGP2. We conclude that NTPase-dependent binding of LGP2 to internal sites on dsRNA increases the number and signaling output of MDA5-dsRNA complexes. Our work identifies novel molecular mechanisms contributing the selectivity and sensitivity of cytosolic dsRNA sensing.
