In this study, we show that transcriptional regulators, previously linked to development in Caenorhabditis elegans, also control immune responses. Through forward genetic screens, we found that loss of LIN-15B leads to constitutive activation of Intracellular Pathogen Response (IPR) genes. LIN-15B is functionally associated with the DREAM chromatin remodeling complex, and its loss enhances resistance to intracellular pathogens. This immune response depends on the MES-4 histone methyltransferase. We also discovered that other chromatin regulators, including NuRD and SUMOylation factors, similarly repress IPR gene expression, highlighting a new role in immunity for these conserved regulators of development.
