Sendai Virus V Protein Inhibits the Secretion of Interleukin-1β by Preventing NLRP3 Inflammasome Assembly
Journal Of VirologyPeer ReviewedTakayuki Komatsu +72018Journals
The present study demonstrates that the V protein of SeV, Nipah virus, and human parainfluenza virus type 2 interacts with NLRP3 to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation, potentially suggesting a novel strategy by which viruses evade the host innate immune response. As all members of theParamyxovirinae subfamily carry similar V genes, this new finding may also lead to identification of novel therapeutic targets for paramyxovirus infection and related diseases.
