Cleavage of SQSTM1/p62 by the zika virus protease NS2B3 prevents autophagic degradation of viral NS3 and NS5 proteins.
Macroautophagy/autophagy plays a crucial role in inhibiting viral replication and regulating the host’s immune response. The autophagy receptor SQSTM1/p62 (sequestosome 1) restricts viral replication by directing specific...
