Suppression of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein dimerization by ISGylation and its counteraction by viral PLpro
24 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
Protein modification by the ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 (ISGylation) plays a crucial role in the immunological defense against viral infection. During severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, innate immune signaling proteins are ISGylated, facilitating innate immunity. However, whether SARS-CoV-2 proteins are direct substrates for ISGylation remains unclear. In this study, we...
