Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus spike protein counteracts BST2‐mediated restriction of virus‐like particle release
14 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract BST2/tetherin, an interferon‐inducible antiviral factor, can block the cellular release of various enveloped viruses. We previously reported that human coronavirus 229E (HCoV‐229E) infection can alleviate the BST2 tethering of HIV‐1 virions by downregulating cell surface BST2, suggesting that coronaviruses are capable of encoding anti‐BST2 factors. Here we report our new finding that severe acute...
