Fig. 5. DENV inhibition of type I IFN response and complement pathways.

Fig. 5

a Type I IFN signaling inhibition (blue): NS2a, NS4a, and NS4b complex inhibit signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) signaling after IFNα/β receptor activation. NS5 will cause proteasomal degradation of STAT2 by binding with the host ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component N-recognin 4 (UBR4). b Complement evasion (red): NS1 hexamer inhibits the formation of the classical pathway C3 convertase by binding to C4, C1s, and C4b. NS1 inhibits neutralization by the mannose-binding lectin (MBL) pathway by binding to MBL. NS1 blocks membrane attack complex (MAC) formation by binding to complement regulators vitronectin (VN), C9, or clusterin (Clu)
