Abstract
Conjugation of ubiquitin regulates multiple pathways, including the signaling cascades leading to antiviral immunity. Similarly, the ubiquitin-like peptide ISG15 mediates the antiviral response to certain viruses. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Frias-Staheli and colleagues demonstrate that research on viral proteases of certain nairoviruses and arteriviruses reveals the presence of ovarian tumor domain-containing sequences that act as general deubiquitinases and deISGylases and increase viral replication by inhibiting the antiviral response mediated by ISG15.Entities:
