Abstract Toxoplasma gondii ( T. )‐associated polymorphic effector proteins are crucial in parasite development and regulating host anti‐ immune responses. However, the mechanism remains obscure. Here, it is shown that dense granules 4 (GRA4) restricts IFN‐I activation. Infection with Δ gra4 mutant strain induces stronger responses poses a severe threat to health. Mechanistically, GRA4 binds phosphorylated TBK1 promote TRIM27‐catalyzed K48‐ubiquitination at Lys251/Lys372 residues, which enhances its recognition by autophagy receptor p62, ultimately leading autophagic degradation. Furthermore, an avirulent (ME49Δ ompdc / ) constructed for tumor immunotherapy due ability enhance production. Earlier vaccination ME49Δ confers complete resistance compared classical treatment. Notably, specific CD64 + MAR‐1 CD11b dendritic cell subset, thereby enhancing T anti‐tumor Overall, these findings identify negative role of modulating signaling suggest can be potential target vaccines immunotherapy.
