To further explore how the K108R mutation attenuated the IFN-β antagonistic ability of the NS1 protein, we co-transfected NS1 expression plasmids, an IFN-β reporter plasmid and different type I interferon pathway components, including RIG-I CARD, TBK1, and the active form of IRF3, into 293T cells. This result indicated that the deacetylation-mimic K108R substitution retained NS1 protein in the cytoplasm of infected cells, suggesting that the acetylated K108 residue is important for the nuclear localization of the NS1 protein ( Figures 5A-C ). ./cache/cord-004400-li1sc47z.txt ./txt/cord-004400-li1sc47z.txt
