ISGylation: A Key Host Cellular Defense Mechanism
Abstract: ISGylation, a crucial process of the innate immune response, has garnered increasing attention for its involvement in host's defense against pathogenic infections as well in cancer progression. The key player of ISGylation, ISG15, is stimulated by type I interferons (IFNs). ISG15 covalently binds with viral (influenza NS1A and nucleoproteins) and host (Nedd4, filamin B and CHMP5) target proteins and this interaction inhibits the viral replication process and release of viral …
