Global analysis of knockout (KO) libraries implicates mitochondrial complex I is a positive regulator of the IFNγ response.

(A) Rank plot of the combined analysis for all genome-wide KO screens. Gene ranks (x-axis) were determined by maximal likelihood estimation (MLE). Known positive (left) and negative (right) …

Figure 3 with 1 supplement
Complex I is necessary for IFNγ-induced MHCII and PD-L1 expression.

Metabolic phenotypes in macrophage mutants were confirmed by measuring intracellular (IC) ATP abundance following culture in media containing only (A) glucose or (B) pyruvate. Values are normalized …

Figure 3—figure supplement 1
The complex I dependency of IFNγ signaling is independent of reactive oxygen and nitrogen radicals, and Hif-1α.

(A) sgNTC, sgNdufa1, and sgNdufa2 cells cultured in complete media and treated with or without oligomycin (2.5 μM) for 4 hr. Relative ATP levels were determined as in Figure 2A. (B) Intracellular …

Diminished mitochondrial function specifically limits IFNγ-dependent responses.

(A) TNF and IL-6 production by non-targeting control (NTC) or complex I mutant macrophages stimulated with Pam3CSK4 for 24 hr was determined by ELISA. Statistical testing between mutant and NTC …

Figure 5 with 1 supplement
Complex I is specifically required for IFNγ signaling in human cells.

(A) CD14+ monocytes from healthy human donors were differentiated into macrophages with GM-CSF. Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of cell surface markers PD-L1, ICAM1, CD40, and HLA-DR was …

Figure 5—figure supplement 1
Complex I is specifically required for IFNγ signaling in diverse human myeloid cells.

CD14+ monocytes were isolated from healthy human donors and stimulated directly (upper panel) or subsequent to differentiation into macrophages with M-CSF (lower panel). Mean fluorescence intensity …

Complex I inhibition reduces IFNγ receptor activity.

(A) PD-L1 transcript was quantified by qRT-PCR using ΔΔCt relative to β-actin in macrophages of the indicated genotype after stimulation with 10 ng/mL IFNγ. PD-L1 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) …

Figure 7 with 1 supplement
Mitochondrial respiration in antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is required for IFNγ-dependent T cell activation.

(A) Cell surface expression of MHCII (mean fluorescence intensity [MFI]) in macrophages (MF) or dendritic cells (DCs) derived from conditionally immortalized progenitor lines. IFNγ was added for 24 …

Figure 7—figure supplement 1
The metabolic dependencies for IFNγ signaling are preserved in macrophages derived from myeloid progenitor lines.

(A–C) Myeloid progenitors cells were conditionally immortalized by transducing murine bone marrow with an estrogen-dependent Hoxb8 transgene that maintains stem-like properties. Following …
