Convergent evolution of antiviral machinery derived from endogenous retrovirus truncated envelope genes in multiple species

Ariko Miyake et al.

Summary: Host genetic resistance to viral infection controls the pathogenicity and epidemic dynamics of infectious diseases. Refrex-1 is a restriction factor that counteracts infection by feline leukemia virus subgroup D and domestic cat endogenous retroviruses. It competes for the entry receptor CTR1 and also shows antiviral effects against primate endogenous retroviruses. Additionally, truncated envelope genes found in various mammalian species can block infection by retroviruses. These findings highlight the convergent evolution of antiviral mechanisms acquired from ancient retroviruses.

Summary: Previously considered junk DNA or genomic dark matter, endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are now recognized as important components of the antiviral immune response, regulating cellular immune activation and potentially targeting viral pathogens directly. This review highlights recent advances in understanding ERVs as regulators of antiviral gene expression.
