Interferon-inducible protein AIM2 also known as absent in melanoma 2 or simply AIM2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AIM2 gene.[5][6]

AIM2 is a cytoplasmic sensor that recognizes the presence of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) of microbial or host cellular origin.[7] AIM2-like receptor (ALR) family was found on AIM2 and now consists of four members in human genome.[8] Activated AIM2 recruits apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), resulting in caspase-1 binding, and forming of AIM2 inflammasome. This signaling contributes to the defense against bacterial and viral DNA.

Structure

Proteins belonging to ALR family usually contain an N-terminal pyrin (PYD) domain, and one or two HIN domains. AIM2 consists of two domains connected through a long linker: an N-terminal PYD domain (amino acids 1-87), and a C-terminal HIN-200 domain (amino acids 138-337). The PYD domain mediates homotypic protein-protein interaction, while the HIN domain binds to DNA with its two tandem oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide binding (OB) folds.[9]

Function

AIM2 is a component of the innate immune system that functions as a cytoplasmic dsDNA sensor playing a role in antiviral and antibacterial defenses, as well as in autoimmune diseases involving self DNA. Together with the adaptor ASC protein AIM2 forms a caspase-1 activating complex known as the AIM2 inflammasome.

The first step in the formation of AIM2 inflammasome is DNA binding. The HIN domain of AIM2 binds to both strands of B-form dsDNA (either viral, bacterial, or even host) in a sequence-independent manner. However, the DNA sequence must be at least 80 base pairs in length.[10] The interaction is mainly electrostatic, where positively charged amino acid residues are coordinating with phosphates and sugar moieties on DNA backbone. Binding of dsDNA displaces PYD domain, which then engages the downstream inflammasome adaptor protein ASC through homotypic PYD-PYD interactions.[11] ASC is a bipartite PYD-CARD-containing protein. CARD domain of ASC recruits procaspase-1 (CARD-CARD interaction) to the complex creating the basic structural elements of the AIM2 inflammasome. Caspase-1 autoactivates and processes cleavage of pro-IL-1β, pro-IL-18, and gasdermin D. The N-terminal fragment of gasdermin D induces pyroptosis that allows mature cytokines IL-1β, and IL-18 to be released from the cell.  

Clinical relevance

Elevated levels of AIM2 expression are found in skin cells from people with psoriasis.[12] In systemic lupus erythematosus, lysosome dysfunction allows DNA to gain access to the cytosol and activate AIM2 resulting in increased type 1 interferon production.[13]
