TgROP18I targets host TRIM21 for immune escape. 1. Host IFN-γ-induced factor TRIM21 restricted T. gondii replication through NF-κB activation and TRIM21 overexpression suppressed the p65-IκB-α interaction to activate NF-κB pathway. 2. TgROP18I which was discharged by T. gondii, interacted with the PRY-SPRY domain of human TRIM21, promoted TRIM21 phosphorylation, and induced TRIM21 degradation via lysosomal pathway. 3. IFN-γ induced ubiquitin labeling on the CEP PVM which resulted in PV acidification and death of parasites, but this labeling was relieved by TRIM21 knockdown regardless of IFN-γ simulation or not.
