- W3030519504 abstract "Abstract We conducted a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) of the immune responses to primary smallpox vaccination in a combined cohort of > 1,600 subjects. We identified a cluster of SNPs on chromosome 5 (5q31.2) that were significantly associated (p-value: 1.3 × 10 −12 – 1.5×10 −36 ) with IFNα response to in vitro poxvirus stimulation. Examination of these SNPs led to the functional testing of rs1131769, a non-synonymous SNP in TMEM173 causing an Arg-to-His change at position 232 in the STING protein—a major regulator of innate immune responses to viral infections. Our findings demonstrate important functional differences between the two alleles, where the major allele (R232) more effectively induces IFNα secretion. Molecular modeling of both alleles identified altered ligand binding characteristics between the two variants, providing a potential mechanism underlying differences in inter-individual responses to poxvirus vaccination. Our data demonstrate that possession of the H232 variant impairs STING-mediated innate immunity to poxviruses. These results clarify prior studies evaluating functional effects of genetic variants in TMEM173 and provide novel data regarding genetic control of poxvirus immunity. Contribution to the Field Here we report that a single nucleotide non-synonymous polymorphism in the TMEM173 gene encodes for a STING variant conferring a reduced IFN stimulated response compared to wild type. Our results suggest that, upon binding of the STING H232 variant to its ligand, activation of downstream signaling proteins is impaired, resulting in decreased production of IFNα and a weaker interferon-stimulated gene response. Molecular modeling indicates that the diminished functional activity of this variant is likely due to an altered physical structure of the STING protein. STING controls the innate, type I IFN response to double-stranded DNA and cyclic dinucleotides. Individuals with the H232 variant of STING have a much weaker innate immune response to vaccinia virus. Our data help resolve ongoing controversies regarding the role of genetic variants in STING function. Because STING plays an important role in our immune response to DNA viruses and bacteria, our results can be used to predict who will and will not respond to vaccines and treatments, and to design more effective vaccine candidates. Given the role of the STING protein in innate responses to DNA viruses and bacterial pathogens, these data may also be useful in developing novel treatment options for multiple infectious diseases." @default.
