1 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is a ubiquitous human pathogen that causes serious symptoms and is known for its strong interactions with host immunity. Here, we revealed that the HSV-1-encoded UL38 is a stimulator of interferon genes (STING) antagonist that interacts with STING to abrogate the STING-TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1)-interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) interaction, thereby suppressing cyclic GMP-AMP...
