Type I interferon (IFN-I) is the first line of mammalian host defense against viral infection. To counteract this, the flaviviruses, like other viruses, have encoded a variety of antagonists, and use a multi-layered molecular defense strategy to establish their infections. Among the most potent antagonists is non-structural protein 5 (NS5), which has been shown for all disease-causing flaviviruses to target different steps and players of the type I IFN signaling pathway. Here, we summarize the type I IFN antagonist mechanisms used by flaviviruses with a focus on the role of NS5 in regulating one key regulator of type I IFN, signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2).
I 型干扰素(IFN-I)是哺乳动物宿主防御病毒感染的第一道防线。为了对抗这一点,黄病毒与其他病毒一样,编码了多种拮抗剂,并利用多层次的分子防御策略来建立感染。其中最有效的拮抗剂是非结构蛋白 5(NS5),所有致病黄病毒都已证明靶向 I 型 IFN 信号通路的不同步骤和参与者。在这里,我们总结了黄病毒使用的 I 型 IFN 拮抗剂机制,重点介绍 NS5 在调节 I 型 IFN 的一个关键调节剂信号转导和转录激活因子 2(STAT2)中的作用。
