Article Synopsis
  • Yaba monkey tumor virus (YMTV) and Tanapox virus (TPV), which can infect humans and primates, have unclear reasons for their varying host ranges.
  • The study showed that K3 orthologs from YMTV and TPV have different abilities to inhibit the protein PKR across 15 primate species, with TPV being more effective against humans.
  • Findings revealed that the region responsible for this difference is located at the C-terminus of the K3 proteins and that specific PKR inhibition patterns can influence how susceptible different primates are to yatapoxvirus infections.
