SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease inhibits ISGylation of the viral nucleocapsid protein to evade host anti-viral immunity

Abstract excerpt

A severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection causes mild-to-severe respiratory symptoms, including acute respiratory distress. Despite remarkable efforts to investigate the virological and pathological impacts of SARS-CoV-2, many of the characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infection still remain unknown. The interferon-inducible ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 is covalently conjugated to several...
