Mimicry between respiratory virus proteins and some human immune proteins
A comparative analysis on search for amino acid sequences in viral proteins causing respiratory infections (or respiratory infections syndrome) homologous to amino acid sequences from some human immune proteins was performed.

Specific Deubiquitinating Enzymes Promote Host Restriction Factors Against HIV/SIV Viruses
Hijacking host ubiquitin pathways is essential for the replication of diverse viruses. However, the role of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) in the interplay between viruses and the host is poorly characterized. Here, we demonstrate that specific DUBs are

Viral Hijacking of BET Proteins
Proteins of the bromodomain and exterminal domain (BET) family mediate critical host functions such as cell proliferation, transcriptional regulation, and the innate immune response, which makes them preferred targets for viruses. These multidomain proteins are best known as transcriptional effectors able to read acetylated histone and non-histone ...

Paramyxovirus V proteins interact with the RNA helicase LGP2 to inhibit RIG-I-dependent interferon induction [PDF]
This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust (grant AL087751/B)RIG-I and mda-5 are activated by viral RNA and stimulate type I interferon production. Laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 (LGP2) shares homology with RIG-I and mda-5 but lacks the CARD ...

Pellino Proteins in Viral Immunity and Pathogenesis
Pellino proteins are a family of evolutionarily conserved ubiquitin ligases involved in intracellular signaling in a wide range of cell types. They are essential for microbe detection and the initiation of innate and adaptive immune responses.
