Abstract
Significance An understanding of the mechanisms by which viruses evade host immunity is essential to the development of antiviral drugs and viral detection strategies. Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifications are crucial in cellular innate immune and infection responses and are often suppressed by viral proteins. We here identify a previously unknown mechanism of viral evasion. A viral protease, Lb pro , removes ubiquitin and the...
