Classical Swine Fever Virus Can Remain Virulent after Specific Elimination of the Interferon Regulatory Factor 3-Degrading Function of N pro
6 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Pestiviruses prevent alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) production by promoting proteasomal degradation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) by means of the viral N(pro) nonstructural protein. N(pro) is also an autoprotease, and its amino-terminal coding sequence is involved in translation initiation. We previously showed with classical swine fever virus (CSFV) that deletion of the entire N(pro) gene...
