Tetherin antagonism by SARS‐CoV‐2 ORF3a and spike protein enhances virus release
11 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
The antiviral restriction factor, tetherin, blocks the release of several different families of enveloped viruses, including the Coronaviridae. Tetherin is an interferon-induced protein that forms parallel homodimers between the host cell and viral particles, linking viruses to the surface of infected cells and inhibiting their release. We demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 infection causes tetherin downregulation and...
