Publication Information

Paper Title Herpes Simplex Virus 1 counteracts viperin via Its virion host shutoff protein UL41
Author's Name Guanghui Shen, Kezhen Wang, Shuai Wang, Mingsheng Cai, Mei-li Li, Chunfu Zheng
Journal Name Journal Of Virology
Pubmed ID 25078699
Abstract The interferon (IFN)-inducible viperin protein restricts a broad range of viruses. However, whether viperin plays a role during herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection is poorly understood. In the present study, it was shown for the first time that wild-type (WT) HSV-1 infection couldnt induce viperin production, and ectopically expressed viperin inhibited the replication of UL41-null HSV-1 but not WT viruses. The underlying molecular mechanism is that UL41 counteracts viperins antiviral activity by reducing its mRNA accumulation.
