Opposing roles of endosomal innate immunity proteins IFITM3 and TLR7 in human metapneumovirus infection
2018-03-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) utilizes a bifurcated cellular entry strategy, fusing either with the plasma membrane or, after endocytosis, with the endosome membrane. Whether cellular factors restrict or enhance either entry pathway is largely unknown. We found that the interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) inhibits hMPV infection to an extent similar to endocytosis-inhibiting drugs...
