RVFV virulence factor NSs triggers the mitochondrial MCL-1-BAK axis to activate pathogenic NLRP3 pyroptosis
30 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
Infection of Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), a highly pathogenic mosquito-borne zoonotic virus, triggers severe inflammatory pathogenesis but the underlying mechanism of inflammation activation is currently unclear. Here, we report that the non-structural protein NSs of RVFV triggers mitochondrial damage to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome leading to viral pathogenesis in vivo. It is found that the host...
