Sarbecovirus ORF6 proteins hamper induction of interferon signaling
1 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
The presence of an ORF6 gene distinguishes sarbecoviruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2 from other betacoronaviruses. Here we show that ORF6 inhibits induction of innate immune signaling, including upregulation of type I interferon (IFN) upon viral infection as well as type I and III IFN signaling. Intriguingly, ORF6 proteins from SARS-CoV-2 lineages are more...
