Abstract

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the common causative agent of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD). Despite evidence in mice model suggested that the interferon (IFN) signaling pathways play a role in defending against this virus, knowledge on the IFN-mediated antiviral response is still limited. Here we identified an IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) called L3HYPHD, whose expression inhibits EV71 replication. Mapping assay indicated that amino acids 61-120 and 295-354 are critical for its optimal antiviral activity. Mechanismly, L3HYPDH specifically inhibits protein translation mediated by EV71 internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Our data thus uncovered a new mechanism utilized by the host cell to restrict EV71 replication.
