OTUD7B, p62, and IRF3 in Antiviral Immunity
2026-09-23
The reference study identifies OTUD7B as a negative regulator of antiviral immunity that activates SQSTM1/p62 through deubiquitination and promotes selective autophagic degradation of IRF3. Its findings connect ubiquitin-chain editing, cargo-receptor oligomerization, and type I interferon control, providing a mechanistic framework for studying how antiviral signaling is terminated.
