Heartland virus NSs protein disrupts host defenses by blocking the TBK1 kinase–IRF3 transcription factor interaction and signaling required for interferon induction
29 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Heartland virus (HRTV) is a pathogenic phlebovirus related to the severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), another phlebovirus causing life-threatening disease in humans. Previous findings have suggested that SFTSV can antagonize the host interferon (IFN) system via viral nonstructural protein (NSs)-mediated sequestration of antiviral signaling proteins into NSs-induced inclusion bodies....
