Abstract excerpt
Sindbis virus (SINV) produces the small membrane protein TF from the 6K gene via a (-1) programmed ribosomal frameshifting. While several groups have shown that TF-deficient virus exhibits reduced virulence, the mechanism(s) by which this occurs remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate a role for TF in antagonizing the host interferon response. Using wild-type and type 1 interferon receptor-deficient mice and primary...
