An autoimmunity-associated allele of PTPN22 enhances the innate immune response to promote protection against acute coronavirus infection

Alec M Bevis, Kathryn J.L.H. Rosa, Nancy Schwarting…·Robin C. Orozco

This study shows that the PTPN22 1858C>T allele enhances innate immunity and protects against acute coronavirus infection by improving NK cell function.

IFN-γ signaling is required for the efficient replication of murine hepatitis virus (MHV) strain JHM in the brains of infected mice.

Catherine M. Kerr, Macie A. Proctor-Roser, Srivatsan Parthasarathy…·Anthony R. Fehr

This study shows that IFN-γ is required for efficient replication of JHMV in mouse brains, despite reduced viral replication in IFN-γ and IFN-γR knockout mice.

Mutation of a highly conserved isoleucine residue in loop 2 of several ????-coronavirus macrodomains indicates that enhanced ADP-ribose binding is detrimental to infection

Catherine M Kerr, Jessica J Pfannenstiel, Yousef M Alhammad…·Anthony R Fehr

This study shows that mutating a conserved isoleucine in the macrodomain of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 enhances ADP-ribose binding but reduces viral replication and pathogenesis.
