IAV Immune evasion
Influneza virus A immune evasion mechanisms
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Function of RIG-I | PRR - recognises PAMP dsRNA in cytoplasm Activates MAVs - downstream signalling cascade for activation of IFN type 1 (IFN beta) |
| NS1 function RIG-I | sequesters dsRNA reducing activation of RIG-I binds to TRIM25 preventing essential ubiquination of RIG-I |
| NS1 function 2 | binds to host nuclear complex preventing export of host mRNA from the nucleus |
| NS1 function 3 | Prevents post translational modification of mRNAS specifically targeting mRNA with poly A tails. |
| NS1 function 4 | May have a role in RNAi antagonisation, shown in insects not yet in mammalian cells |
| PB1-FA function | binds to MAVs preventing down stream activation |
| IFITM | Interferon induced transmembrane proteins -function to prevent endocytosis of viral envelope -patients with defective IFITM proteins more likely to be hospitalized with influenza |
| OAS | 2'-5' oligodenylate synthetase -recognizes dsRNA -activates RNase L which degrades viral RNA -NS1 sequesters dsRNA reducing activation |
| PKR | protein kinase R -phosphorylates eif2a preventing translation of mRNAs and induces apoptosis -NS1 binds to PKR causing a conformtational change inhibiting function -NS1 upregulates P58IPK host gene which is cellular inactivator of PKR |
| MAV | mitochondrial antiviral signalling protein - signalling cascade activating IFN response |
