Deleterious variants in the autophagy-related gene RB1CC1/FIP200 impair immunity to SARS-CoV-2

The clinical outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection spans from asymptomatic viral elimination to lethal COVID-19 pneumonia, which is due to type I interferon (IFN) deficiency in at least 15-20% of cases. We report two unrelated male patients with critical COVID-19 who are heterozygous for rare deleterious...

We report two unrelated male patients with critical COVID-19 who are heterozygous for rare deleterious variants in RB1CC1, encoding the autophagy-related FIP200 protein. Airway epithelial cells genetically deprived of FIP200 or cell lines expressing the RB1CC1/FIP200 patient variants exhibit elevated SARS-CoV-2 replication and impaired autophagic flux. The antiviral function of FIP200 is independent of canonical autophagy and type I IFN, but involves the selective autophagy receptor NDP52. We identify a non-canonical function of FIP200 in a novel lysosomal degradation pathway, in which SARS-CoV-2 virions are targeted to single-membrane compartments for degradation of viral RNA in LC3B-positive acidified vesicles. This pathway is impaired in FIP200-deficient cells and in cells expressing FIP200 patient haplotypes. Collectively, we describe a cell-autonomous anti-SARS-CoV-2 restriction pathway, dependent on FIP200 and NDP52, and independent of canonical autophagy and type I IFN, which can underlie critical COVID-19 pneumonia.Springer Science and Business Media LLC2026202620252026info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion23 p.application/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/226907Articles publicats en revistes (Institut d'lnvestigació Biomèdica de Bellvitge (IDIBELL))reponame:Recercat.
