Figure Lengend Snippet: Influenza infection is usually detected by intracellular pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as TLR 3 and 7, RIG-I, and MDA5. These PRRs activate the expression of IFNL in early infection stage through IRF-3 and NK-κB-controlled transcriptions. IFN-λ secreted by the infected cells interacts with IL-10R2 and IFN-λR1 on neighboring cell surfaces, which results in activation of expression of various IFN-stimulated genes, including PLSCR1 . In ciliated airway epithelial cells, PLSCR1 can further enhance the transcription of IFNLR1 by directly binding to its promoter region as a transcriptional factor, or interact with IFN-λR1 on the cell membrane.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Model depicting the mechanisms of distinct signaling outcomes imparted by ternary complexes composed of IFNL3, IL10RB and either IFNLR1 variant 1 or 2. Greater arrow width indicates higher association and/or phosphorylation (JAK1, STAT1, STAT2), greater internalization of receptor complexes, or higher induction of gene expression. IFNLR1 variant 1 containing heterodimers are depicted to have greater stability of JAK1 and/or pJAK1 binding and to be more prone to internalization than IFNLR1 variant 2 containing heterodimers. This correlates with variant 1 mediating more efficient phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2 and supporting higher expression of antiviral ISGs and de novo expression of proinflammatory ISGs compared to variant 2. ( B ) Model depicting assemblage of multimeric clusters containing multiple heterodimers of IFNL3-bound IFNLR1 variants in complex with IL10RB. In this model, proximity of JAK1 molecules bound to the cytoplasmic domains of IFNLR1 variants 1 and 2 could participate in TYK2-independent transphosphorylation. The relative abundance of IFNLR1 variants within multimeric complexes would influence the nature of receptor internalization, STAT phosphorylation, and downstream gene expression. The TYK2 dependence of signaling differs for antiviral vs. proinflammatory ISG expression and has a complex relationship with the relative abundance of IFNLR1 variants. Soluble variant 3, not studied in these experiments, is included in the model for consideration. Created in BioRender. Novotny, L. (2025) https://BioRender.com/24aqcgc .
