Abstract
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) causes severe acute respiratory infection with as yet unclear epidemiology. We previously showed that MERS-CoV counteracts parts of the innate immune response in human bronchiolar cells. Here we analyzed accessory proteins 3, 4a, 4b and 5 for their abilities to inhibit the type I interferon response. Accessory protein 4a was found to block interferon induction at the level of MDA5 activation presumably by direct interaction with double-stranded RNA.
