Abstract
Cardioviruses are members of the family and infect a variety of mammals, from mice to humans. Replication of cardioviruses produces double stranded RNA that is detected by helicases in the RIG-I-like receptor family and leads to a signaling cascade to produce type I interferon. Like other viruses within , however, cardioviruses have evolved several mechanisms to inhibit interferon production. In this review, we summarize recent findings that have uncovered several proteins enabling efficient detection of cardiovirus dsRNA and discuss which cell types may be most important for interferon production . Additionally, we describe how cardiovirus proteins L, 3C and L disrupt interferon production and antagonize the antiviral activity of interferon effector molecules.
