General Information Comment Organism
physiological function viral NS3/4A protease activity is responsible for inhibition of hepatitis C virus genomic RNA-induced interferon IL-28 expression upon infection. Hepatitis C virus can trigger type III interferon expression in hosts. As a counter measurement, the virus blocks this antiviral response by using its own NS3/4A protease to target the key adaptor molecules that mediate the activation of NK-kappaB and IRF3 Hepacivirus C
