The Zinc-Finger Domain Was Essential for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Nonstructural Protein-1α to Inhibit the Production of Interferon-β
21 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has caused one of the most economically devastating and pandemic diseases of swine. Previous studies have documented that PRRSV nonstructural protein-1α (nsp1α) was an interferon antagonist, but the mechanism by which nsp1α inhibited the interferon (IFN)-β production was unclear. Here, by site-directed mutagenesis of the predicted zinc-coordinating...
