ISG20: an enigmatic antiviral RNase targeting multiple viruses

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 1096-1111, June 2022., 2022
ISG20 is a broad antiviral inhibitor and a potent RNase in vitro. However, a precise understanding of its mechanism of action is lacking. In this review, we discuss the latest developments on this fascinating innate defense factor. Interferon‐stimulated gene 20 kDa protein (ISG20) is a relatively understudied antiviral protein capable of inhibiting a ...

Sloths host Anhanga virus‐related phleboviruses across large distances in time and space

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 11-17, January 2020., 2020
Abstract Sloths are genetically and physiologically divergent mammals. Phleboviruses are major arthropod‐borne viruses (arboviruses) causing disease in humans and other animals globally. Sloths host arboviruses, but virus detections are scarce. A phlebovirus termed Anhanga virus (ANHV) was isolated from a Brazilian Linnaeus's two‐toed sloth (Choloepus ...
