Phosphorylation of MAVS/VISA by Nemo-like kinase (NLK) for degradation regulates the antiviral innate immune response

The Nemo-like kinase (NLK) plays a regulatory role in immune responses. Here, the authors show that NLK inhibits antiviral IFN responses by phosphorylating the mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein MAVS and describe a MAVS-derived peptide that exhibits antiviral effects both in vitro and in mice...
