Research Abstract |
Autophagy is one of the intracellular protein degradation system that is implicated in elimination of denatured proteins and infectious microbes. It is expected that inhibition of autophagy is cause of West Nile encephalomyelitis. In this study, we found that autophagy was inhibited by NS2B/3 that is non-structural proteins of WNV. We also found autophagy inhibited West Nile virus replication at the viral genome replication and gene expression stages.
