Abstract

Influenza A virus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) plays an important role in evading host innate immunity. NS1 inhibits interferon (IFN) responses via multiple mechanisms, including sequestering dsRNA and suppressing retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) signaling by interacting with RIG-I and tripartite motif-containing protein 25 (TRIM25). In the current study, we demonstrated the mitochondrial localization of NS1 at the early stage of influenza virus infection. Since NS1 does not contain mitochondria-targeting signals, we suspected that there is an association between the NS1 and mitochondrial proteins. This hypothesis was tested by demonstrating the interaction of NS1 with mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) in a RIG-I-independent manner. Importantly, the association with MAVS facilitated the mitochondrial localization of NS1 and thereby significantly impeded MAVS-mediated Type I IFN production.
