Cytoskeletal interactions with members of the innate immune response.

Innate Immune Protein Cytoskeleton Protein Characterization of Interaction Reference
Cytoskeleton regulated activation
NOD2 Rac1
  • Recruits NOD2 to membrane ruffles

  • Actin depolymerization leads to activation and release to insoluble cell fraction

Legrand-Poels et al. [136]
RIG-I Unknown
  • Localizes to tight junctions and membrane ruffles

  • Actin depolymerization leads to relocalization to punctate domains and IFNβ induction

Mukherjee et al. [137]
MAVS FAK
  • Virus infection induces FAK relocalization from focal adhesions to binding MAVS at the mitochondrion, inducing FAK-dependent IFNβ expression

Bozym et al. [139]
TBK1 GEF-H1
  • RLR activation induces GEF-H1 dephosphorylation, release from microtubules, and binding to TBK1

Chiang et al. [140]
Pyrin Unknown
  • Actin polymerization induced by mutation of the Wdr1 depolymerizing factor activates the pyrin inflammasome to produce elevated IL-18

Kim et al. [135]
Caspase-1 Flightless
  • Inhibits caspase-1 activation and subsequent IL-1β maturation

Li et al. [141]
Innate regulation of the cytoskeleton
ASC Dock2
  • ASC stabilizes Dock2 mRNA which mediates Rac-dependent actin polymerization

Ippagunta et al. [142]
RNase-L Filamin A
  • RNase-L KO MEFs express decreased levels of polymerized actin

  • RNase-L monomer binds to Filamin A to inhibit virus entry

Malathi et al. [28]
PKR Gelsolin
  • Latent PKR inhibits gelsolin from severing actin filaments

Irving et al. [143]
Caspase-11 Aip1
  • Caspase-11 enhances Aip1-dependent actin polymerization

Li et al. [144]
ADAP2 Arf6
  • Induces membrane ruffling and macropinocytosis

  • Associates with and controls actin dynamics

  • Inhibits Dengue virus and VSV

Shu et al. [145]
Undetermined function of the interaction
IFITM1 Occludin, Claudin1, and ZO-1
  • Enhances the interaction between HCV receptors occludin and CD81, inhibiting virus entry

Wilkins et al. [146]
RNase-L IQGAP1
  • Unknown

Sato et al. [120]
LNX1
  • Unknown
