Overall, these results demonstrate that the IBV-encoded PLP-TM functions as a DUB enzyme and suggest that IBV may interfere with the activation of host antiviral signaling pathway by degrading polyubiquitin-associated proteins. Further experiments indicated that the proteinase PLP-TM plays an important role in IBV DUB activity and can process both K48-and K63-linked polyubiquitin chains. Overall, the results of our study show that IBV has DUB activity and confirm that PLP-TM is not only a classic papain-like protease encoded by IBV but is also a multifunctional protein that plays important roles in the regulation of interactions between IBV and host antiviral innate immune response proteins. IBV PLP-TM may prevent the activation of host antiviral signaling pathways by degrading polyubiquitin chains associated with ubiquitin proteins. ./cache/cord-291718-cz1bi0ym.txt ./txt/cord-291718-cz1bi0ym.txt
