摘要
MPYS, also known as STING and MITA, is an interferon (IFN)beta stimulator essential for host defense against RNA, DNA viruses and intracellular bacteria. MPYS also facilitates the adjuvant activity of DNA vaccines. Here, we report identification of a distinct human MPYS haplotype that contains three non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), R71 (H) under bar -G230 (A) under bar -R293 (Q) under bar (thus, named the HAQ haplotype). We estimate, in two cohorts (1074 individuals), that similar to 3% of Americans are homozygous for this HAQ haplotype. HAQ MPYS exhibits a >90% loss in the ability to stimulate IFN beta production. Furthermore, fibroblasts and macrophage cells expressing HAQ are defective in Listeria monocytogenes infection-induced IFN beta production. Lastly, we find that the loss of IFN beta activity is due primarily to the R71H and R293Q SNPs in HAQ. We hypothesize that individuals carrying HAQ may exhibit heightened susceptibility to viral infection and respond poorly to DNA vaccines.
