Funded Activity Summary

This proposal will investigate the inhibition of the human immune response by viruses. Specifically, an enzyme, TRIM25, which ubiquitinates proteins important for signalling the viral immune response has recently been shown to be inhibited by the non-structural influenza protein NS1. The mechanism of this inhibition is unknown and is thus the subject of this project.
