The overview of picornavirus non-structural proteins suppress the production of IFNs. When viruses infect organisms, the host innate immune system detects the presence of pathogen-associated molecular patterns via host pattern recognition receptors, then recruit a number of specific adaptor proteins to trigger a signaling cascade leading to the establishment of an antiviral state based on IFN and proinflammatory cytokines induction. The green arrays represent observations that have yet to be associated with a specific mechanism of action of the production of IFNs. The scissors illustrate the inhibition of viral non-structural proteins in the production of IFNs.
