(Submitter supplied) Innate immunity, the first line of host defense against pathogens, is tightly regulated both transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally. Through global transcriptome and proteome analyses in Caenorhabditis elegans, we uncover a modulation of the expression of secreted innate immunity effector proteins by TENT5, one of a recently described family of cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerases. Direct RNA sequencing revealed that TENT-5 polyadenylates mRNAs with signal peptide-encoding sequences, that are translated at the endoplasmic reticulum. Loss of tent-5 function makes worms more susceptible to bacterial infection. Importantly, we demonstrate that the function of TENT-5 in innate immunity is evolutionarily conserved, as its orthologs, TENT5A and TENT5C are induced during macrophage activation and polyadenylate mRNAs, some of which are of genes orthologous to C. more...
