Ifit1 Inhibits Japanese Encephalitis Virus Replication through Binding to 5′ Capped 2′-O Unmethylated RNA
4 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
The interferon-inducible protein with tetratricopeptide (IFIT) family proteins inhibit replication of some viruses by recognizing several types of RNAs, including 5'-triphosphate RNA and 5' capped 2'-O unmethylated mRNA. However, it remains unclear how IFITs inhibit replication of some viruses through recognition of RNA. Here, we analyzed the mechanisms by which Ifit1 exerts antiviral responses. Replication of a...
