HDAC3 directly enhances the TBK1 kinase activity via its deacetylase activity. (A and B) Luciferase IFN-β reporter activity analyzing (A) and Immunoblot analysis of phosphorylated and total TBK1 or IRF3 (B) in HEK293T cells plus RGFP966 in dose (50, 100, 200 nmol/L), infected with SeV for 10 h. (C) Immunoblot analysis of HEK293T cells (1.5 × 106) transiently co-transfected for 48 h with HA-tagged TBK1 together with vector encoding Flag-tagged wild-type HDAC3, HDAC3 (1–316 aa), or HDAC3 (317–428 aa) (above lanes), assessed before (10% input) or after (IP) immunoprecipitation with anti-Flag antibody. (D) Immunoblot analysis of HEK293T cells (1.5 × 106) transiently co-transfected for 48 h with HA-tagged HDAC3 with vector encoding EGFP-tagged wild-type or mutant TBK1 (above lanes), assessed before (10% input) or after (Co-IP) Co-immunoprecipitation with the indicated antibodies. (E) TBK1 kinase activity assay combined with purified GST-HDAC3. HEK293T cells (4.0 × 105) was transfected with vector or Flag-tagged TBK1. The expressed proteins immunoprecipitated by Flag tag antibodies and purified GST-HDAC3 or BSA were introduced into a mixture as indicated for TBK1 kinase activity assay. (F) In vitro kinase assay. HEK293T cells (4.0 × 105) were transfected with Flag-tagged TBK1, HA-tagged IRF3 and Flag-tagged HDAC3 separately (left). The expressed proteins were immunoprecipitated by the indicated tag antibodies and incubated together as indicated. The GST-TBK1 purified protein and the peptide of IRF3 full length protein with kinase activity were introduced into a mixture containing recombinant purified HDAC3 (right). Data are representative of three independent experiments. Graphs show mean ± SD; n = 3. *P < 0.05; (Student’s t-test)
