| T1 |
0-86 |
Sentence |
denotes |
ISG15 inhibits Nedd4 ubiquitin E3 activity and enhances the innate antiviral response. |
| T2 |
87-226 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Interferons regulate diverse immune functions through the transcriptional activation of hundreds of genes involved in anti-viral responses. |
| T3 |
227-453 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The interferon-inducible ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 is expressed in cells in response to a variety of stress conditions like viral or bacterial infection and is present in its free form or is conjugated to cellular proteins. |
| T4 |
454-535 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, protein ubiquitination plays a regulatory role in the immune system. |
| T5 |
536-640 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Many viruses modulate the ubiquitin (Ub) pathway to alter cellular signaling and the antiviral response. |
| T6 |
641-869 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Ubiquitination of retroviral group-specific antigen precursors and matrix proteins of the Ebola, vesicular stomatitis, and rabies viruses by Nedd4 family HECT domain E3 ligases is an important step in facilitating viral release. |
| T7 |
870-923 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We found that Nedd4 is negatively regulated by ISG15. |
| T8 |
924-1063 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Free ISG15 specifically bound to Nedd4 and blocked its interaction with Ub-E2 molecules, thus preventing further Ub transfer from E2 to E3. |
| T9 |
1064-1258 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Furthermore, overexpression of ISG15 diminished the ability of Nedd4 to ubiquitinate viral matrix proteins and led to a decrease in the release of Ebola VP40 virus-like particles from the cells. |
| T10 |
1259-1429 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These results point to a mechanistically novel function of ISG15 in the enhancement of the innate anti-viral response through specific inhibition of Nedd4 Ub-E3 activity. |
| T11 |
1430-1589 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To our knowledge, this is the first example of a Ub-like protein with the ability to interfere with Ub-E2 and E3 interaction to inhibit protein ubiquitination. |
