Research Abstract |
Interferon (IFN)-induced GTP binding proteins (GBPs) were thought to play a part in inhibition of amplification of infected viruses in animal. I identified two novel GBP genes, GBP2 and GBP3, of the chicken. The mRNA of these genes was induced by various IFNs such as IFNβ, IFNγ and IFNλ. Chicken GBP2 protein was located in the cytoplasm, which is similar to Mx, one of the antiviral GTP binding protein. Chicken GBP2 has the highest homology to human GBP1, which is an antiviral GBP, suggesting its antiviral property.
