WebAbstract. Background: ISGylation is the conjugation of ISG15 with target proteins.ISGylation occurs through an enzymatic cascade, which is similar to that of ubiquitination. Through ISGylation, ISG15 can bind to proteins involved in cell proliferation and differentiation, thus promoting genesis and progression of malignancies. WebFeb 11, 2024 · First, ISGylation is increased in adipocytes after high-fat feeding. Second, the repression of Ucp1 observed in cells bearing the activated IRF3-2D allele is reversed by coexpression of USP18. Finally, deletion of HERC6 blocks the actions of the IRF3-2D allele on Ucp1 expression in vivo. Taken together, these data indicate that ISG15 suppresses ...

WebSep 15, 2024 · Abstract. Interferon stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is an ubiquitin-like protein whose expression and conjugation to targets (ISGylation) is induced by infection, interferon (IFN)-α and -β, ischemia, DNA damage and aging. Attention has historically focused on the antiviral effects of ISGylation, which blocks the entry, replication or release of ... WebThe interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene product 15 (ISG15) represents an ubiquitin-like protein (Ubl), which in a process termed ISGylation can be covalently linked to target substrates via a cascade of E1, E2, and E3 enzymes. Furthermore, ISG15 exerts functions in its free form both, as an intracellular and as a secreted protein. In agreement with its role as a type I … WebAug 26, 2016 · Author Summary Type I IFN response is a front-line defense against virus infection.
