In this report, we show that the viral proteases PLpro and 3CLpro of SARS-CoV2 lead to the in-vitro proteolytic cleavage of three important proteins of the host immune response: IRF3, TAB1 and NLRP12 (Fig. 1B) . The presence of the five human-like cleavage sites for IRF3, TAB1 and NLRP12 in a single species shows that it is possible that the SARS viruses could have gained the new functionality of cleaving these Human Innate Immune Proteins in a single reservoir host, potentially in Myotis Davidii. ./cache/cord-280454-etf32afd.txt ./txt/cord-280454-etf32afd.txt
