Zebrafish ubiquitin-specific peptidase 5 (USP5) activates interferon resistance to the virus by increase the expression of RIG-I

The ubiquitin specific peptidase (USP) family is involved in many life processes, of which antiviral is also an important basic function. One of the more important ways is to activate interferon. In this study, we reported the antiviral function of the ubiquitin specific peptidase 5(USP5) gene in zebrafish. Evolutionary and comparative protein sequence analysis of the USP5 was performed. The localization of USP5 in FHM cells cytoplasm was...
