MALT1 acts as a scaffold protein for NF-\u03baB signaling and a cysteine protease that cleaves substrates, further promoting the expression of immunoregulatory genes. Deregulated MALT1 activity has been associated with autoimmunity and cancer, implicating MALT1 as a new therapeutic target. Although MALT1 deficiency has been shown to protect against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, nothing is known about the impact of MALT1 on virus infection in the central nervous system. Here, we studied infection with an attenuated rabies virus, Evelyn-Rotnycki-Abelseth (ERA) virus, and observed increased susceptibility with ERA virus in MALT1\n            <jats:sup>\u2212\/\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n            mice. Indeed, after intranasal infection with ERA virus, wild-type mice developed mild transient clinical signs with recovery at 35 days postinoculation (dpi). Interestingly, MALT1\n            <jats:sup>\u2212\/\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n            mice developed severe disease requiring euthanasia at around 17 dpi. A decreased induction of inflammatory gene expression and cell infiltration and activation was observed in MALT1\n            <jats:sup>\u2212\/\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n            mice at 10 dpi compared to MALT1\n            <jats:sup>+\/+<\/jats:sup>\n            infected mice. At 17 dpi, however, the level of inflammatory cell activation was comparable to that observed in MALT1\n            <jats:sup>+\/+<\/jats:sup>\n            mice. Moreover, MALT1\n            <jats:sup>\u2212\/\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n            mice failed to produce virus-neutralizing antibodies. Similar results were obtained with specific inactivation of MALT1 in T cells. Finally, treatment of wild-type mice with mepazine, a MALT1 protease inhibitor, also led to mortality upon ERA virus infection. These data emphasize the importance of early inflammation and activation of T cells through MALT1 for controlling the virulence of an attenuated rabies virus in the brain.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:bold>\n            Rabies virus is a neurotropic virus which can infect any mammal. Annually, 59,000 people die from rabies. Effective therapy is lacking and hampered by gaps in the understanding of virus pathogenicity. MALT1 is an intracellular protein involved in innate and adaptive immunity and is an interesting therapeutic target because MALT1-deregulated activity has been associated with autoimmunity and cancers. The role of MALT1 in viral infection is, however, largely unknown. Here, we study the impact of MALT1 on virus infection in the brain, using the attenuated ERA rabies virus in different models of MALT1-deficient mice. We reveal the importance of MALT1-mediated inflammation and T cell activation to control ERA virus, providing new insights in the biology of MALT1 and rabies virus infection.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jvi.02029-17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,24]],"date-time":"2018-01-24T11:19:57Z","timestamp":1516792797000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["MALT1 Controls Attenuated Rabies Virus by Inducing Early Inflammation and T Cell Activation in the Brain"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"E.","family":"Kip","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Reference Center of Rabies, Viral Diseases, Communicable and Infectious Diseases, Scientific Institute of Public Health, Brussels, Belgium"},{"name":"Center for Inflammation Research, Unit of Molecular Signal Transduction in Inflammation, VIB, Ghent, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Molecular Biology, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Staal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Inflammation Research, Unit of Molecular Signal Transduction in Inflammation, VIB, Ghent, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Molecular Biology, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Verstrepen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Inflammation Research, Unit of Molecular Signal Transduction in Inflammation, VIB, Ghent, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Molecular Biology, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.
