Varicella-Zoster virus ORF9 Is an antagonist of the DNA sensor cGAS

Abstract:

Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox and shingles. Although infection is associated with severe morbidity in some individuals, the molecular mechanisms that determine innate immune responses remain poorly defined. We found that the cGAS/STING DNA sensing pathway was critically required for type I interferon (IFN) induction in response to VZV infection. Viral gene overexpression screening identified the essential VZV tegument protein ORF9 as a novel antagonist of DNA sensing via cGAS...
