PG - 125-31 LID - S0008-8749(12)00187-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.cellimm.2012.10.003 [doi] AB - Previous studies have shown that porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) nonstructural protein 1alpha (nsp1alpha) was the interferon (IFN) antagonist. However, the mechanism was unclear. In the present study, deletion of the carboxyl-terminal extension (CTE) (167-180 amino acid (aa)) made nsp1alpha lose its inhibitory ability to the induction of IFN-beta. And a series of C-terminal truncated mutants for nsp1alpha showed that 1-176 aa of nsp1alpha was able to inhibit the induction of IFN-beta and deleting or mutating the amino acid F176 made nsp1alpha not inhibit the induction of IFN-beta. In conclusion, the CTE and the amino acid F176 were critical for nsp1alpha as the IFN antagonist and the region representing 167-176 was the minimal subunit of the CTE for nsp1alpha to retain its suppressive activity to the induction of IFN-beta.
