ISG12a Restricts Hepatitis C Virus Infection through the Ubiquitination-Dependent Degradation Pathway
19 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Interferons (IFNs) restrict various kinds of viral infection via induction of hundreds of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), while the functions of the majority of ISGs are broadly unclear. Here, we show that a high-IFN-inducible gene, ISG12a (also known as IFI27), exhibits a nonapoptotic antiviral effect on hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Viral NS5A protein is targeted specifically by ISG12a, which...
