Alternative splicing expands the antiviral IFITM repertoire in Chinese horseshoe bats
2023-12-04
Abstract excerpt
The interferon response is shaped by the evolutionary arms race between hosts and the pathogens they carry. The human interferon-induced transmembrane protein (IFITM) family consists of three antiviral IFITM genes that arose by gene duplication, they restrict virus entry and are key players of the interferon response. Yet, little is known about IFITMs in other mammals. Here, we identified an IFITM gene in Chines...
