SARS-CoV-2 NSP7 inhibits type I and III IFN production by targeting the RIG-I/MDA5, TRIF, and STING signaling pathways

Jian Deng et al.

Summary: The NSP7 protein of SARS-CoV-2 inhibits the production of interferons, crucial components of antiviral immunity, by targeting multiple signaling pathways. It disrupts the normal functioning of RIG-I/MDA5, TLR3-TRIF, and cGAS-STING pathways, leading to a dampened interferon response. Additionally, NSP7 decreases immune activation and facilitates virus replication.
