PARP7 inhibits type I interferon signaling to prevent autoimmunity and lung disease

Abstract excerpt

Type I IFN (IFN-I) induce hundreds of antiviral genes as well as negative regulators that limit IFN-I signaling. Here, we investigate the family of 16 PARPs and find that 11 PARPs are ISGs, of which 8 PARPs inhibit IFN-I production. PARP7 is the most potent negative feedback regulator of IFN-I production. Using Parp7-/- and Parp7H532A/H532A mice, we show that PARP7 loss leads to systemic autoimmunity...
