• The N-terminal tail of histone H3 is specifically cleaved during EV71 infection. • Viral protease 3C is identified as a protease responsible for proteolytically processing the N-terminal H3 tail. • Our finding reveals a new epigenetic regulatory mechanism for Enterovirus 71 in virus-host interactions.
• 在 EV71 感染过程中,组蛋白 H3 的 N 端尾部会被特异性切割。• 病毒蛋白酶 3C 被鉴定为负责对 N 端 H3 尾部进行蛋白水解加工的蛋白酶。• 我们的发现揭示了肠道病毒 71 在病毒-宿主相互作用中一种新的表观遗传调控机制。
