Classical swine fever virus NS5A protein antagonizes innate immune response by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling.

ABSTRACT: The NS5A non-structural protein of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is a multifunctional protein involved in viral genomic replication, protein translation, assembly of infectious virus particles, and regulation of cellular signaling pathways. Previous report showed that NS5A inhibited nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling induced by poly(I:C); however, the mechanism involved has not been elucidated. Here, we reported that NS5A directly interacted with NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO), a regulatory subunit of the IκB kinase (IKK) complex, to inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway. Further investigations showed that the zinc finger domain of NEMO and the aa 126-250 segment of NS5A are essential for the interaction between NEMO and NS5A. Mechanistic analysis revealed that NS5A mediated the
