摘要

Metabolic pathways determine cellular fate and function; however, the exact roles of metabolites in host defence against influenza virus remain undefined. Here we employed pharmacological inhibition and metabolomics analysis to show that the metabolic pathways of oxaloacetate (OAA) are integrated with antiviral responses to influenza virus. Cytosolic malate dehydrogenase 1 senses intracellular OAA to undergo dimerization and functions as a scaffold to recruit the transcription factor ETS2 for phosphorylation by the kinase TAOK1 at serine 313. The phosphorylated ETS2 translocates into the nucleus and supports optimal expression of TBK1, an indispensable activator of type I interferon responses. OAA supplementation provides a broad-spectrum antiviral ability, and OAA deficiency caused by Acly genetic ablation decreases antiviral immunity and renders mice more susceptible to lethal H1N1 virus infection. Our results uncover a signalling pathway through cellular OAA sensing that links metabolism and innate immunity to coordinate defence against viral challenge.
