    DDX58/RIG-I, is a critical pattern recognition receptor for viral RNA, which plays an essential role in antiviral immunity. Its posttranslational modifications and stability are tightly regulated to mediate the moderate production of type I IFN to maintain the immune homeostasis. Recently, we reported that macroautophagy/autophagy balances type I IFN signaling through selective degradation of ISG15-associated DDX58 via LRRC25. However, the regulatory mechanism about the autophagic degradation of DDX58 remains largely undefined. Here, we identified LRRC59 as a vital positive regulator of DDX58-mediated type I IFN signaling. Upon virus infection, LRRC59 specifically interacted with ISG15-associated DDX58 and blocked its association with LRRC25, the secondary receptor to deliver DDX58 to autophagosomes for SQSTM1/p62-dependent degradation, leading to the stronger antiviral immune responses. Thus, our study reveals a novel regulatory role of selective autophagy in innate antiviral responses mediated by the cross-regulation of LRRC family members. These data further provide insights into the crosstalk between autophagy and innate immune responses.
