<i>Sarbecovirus</i> ORF6 Proteins Hamper the Induction of Interferon Signaling by Blocking mRNA Nuclear Export
2020-10-07
Abstract excerpt
The presence of an <i>ORF6</i> gene distinguishes <i>Sarbecoviruses</i> such as SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 from other <i>Betacoronaviruses</i>. Here, we show that ORF6 inhibits the induction of type I IFN upon viral infection, as well as IFN types I and III signaling. Intriguingly, the anti-IFN activity of ORF6 proteins of SARS-CoV-2 lineages is more potent than that of SARS-CoV lineages. Mutational analyses identifi...
