Identification of host proteins that interact with African swine fever virus pE301R.

ABSTRACT: African swine fever virus (ASFV) infection poses enormous threats and challenges to the global pig industry; however, no effective vaccine is available against ASFV, attributing to the huge viral genome (approximately189 kb) and numerous encoding products (>150 genes) due to the limited understanding on the molecular mechanisms of viral pathogenesis. Elucidating the host-factor/viral-protein interaction network will reveal new targets for developing novel antiviral therapies. Using proteomic analysis, we identified 255 cellular proteins that interact with the ASFV-encoded pE301R protein when transiently expressed in HEK293T cells. Gene ontology (GO) annotation, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database enrichment, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses reveale
