摘要： The CCCH-type zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) can recognize and induce the degradation of mRNAs and proteins of certain viruses, as well as exerting its antiviral activity by activating T cells. However, the mechanism of ZAP that mediates T cell activation during virus infection remains unclear. Here, we found a potential function of ZAP that relieves immunosuppression of T cell induced by avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) via a novel signaling pathway that involves norbin-like protein (NLP), protein kinase C delta (PKC-delta), and nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT). Specifically, ZAP expression activated T cells by promoting the dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation of NFAT. Furthermore, knockdown of ZAP weakened the reactivity and antiviral response of T cells. Mechanistically, ZAP reduced PKC-delta activity by upregulating and reactivating NLP by competitively binding with viral protein. Knockdown of NLP decreased the dephosphorylation of PKC-delta by ZAP expression. Moreover, we show that knockdown of PKC-delta reduced the phosphorylation levels of NFAT and enhanced its nuclear translocation. Taken together, these data revealed that ZAP relieves immunosuppression caused by ALV-J and mediates T cell activation through the NLP-PKC-delta-NFAT pathway. IMPORTANCE The evolution of the host defense system is driven synchronously in the process of resisting virus invasion. Accordingly, host innate defense factors effectively work to suppress virus replication. However, it remains unclear whether the host innate defense factors are involved in antiviral immune responses against the invasion of immunosuppressive viruses. Here, we found that CCCH-type zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) effectively worked in resistance to immunosuppression caused by avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J), a classic immunosuppressive virus. Evidence showed that ZAP released the phosphatase activity of NLP inhibited by ALV-J and further activated NFAT by inactivating PKC-delta. This novel molecular mechanism, i.e., ZAP regulation of the antiviral immune response by mediating the NLP-PKC-delta-NFAT pathway, has greatly enriched the understanding of the functions of host innate defense factors and provided important scientific ideas and a theoretical basis for research on immunosuppressive viruses and antiviral immunity.
