Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals that is caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). To replicate efficiently in vivo, FMDV has evolved methods to circumvent host antiviral defense mechanisms, including those induced by interferons (IFNs). Previous research has focused on the effect of FMDV L(pro) and 3C(pro) on type I IFNs. In this study, FMDV VP3 was found to inhibit type II IFN signaling pathways. The overexpression of FMDV VP3 inhibited the IFN-γ-triggered phosphorylation of STAT1 at Tyr701 and the subsequent expression of downstream genes. Mechanistically, FMDV VP3 interacted with JAK1/2 and inhibited the tyrosine phosphorylation, dimerization and nuclear accumulation of STAT1. FMDV VP3 also disrupted the assembly of the JAK1 complex and degraded JAK1 but not JAK2 via a lysosomal pathway. Taken together, the results reveal a novel mechanism used by which FMDV VP3 counteracts the type II IFN signaling pathways.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), a member of picornavirus, can enter into host cell via macropinocytosis. Although it is known that receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play a crucial role in FMDV macropinocytic entry, the specific RTK responsible for regulating this process and the intricacies of RTK-mediated downstream signaling remain to be elucidated. Here, we conducted a screening of RTK inhibitors to assess their efficacy against FMDV.

Zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36) is a key regulator of inflammatory and cytokine production. However, the interplay between swine zinc-finger protein 36 (sZFP36) and foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) has not yet been reported. Here, we demonstrate that overexpression of sZFP36 restricted FMDV replication, while the knockdown of sZFP36 facilitated FMDV replication.

VP1, a major immunogenic protein of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), facilitates viral attachment and entry into host cells. VP1 possesses critical epitope sequences responsible for inducing neutralizing antibodies but its expression using Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been hampered despite evidence that the presence of VP1 does not negatively impact the yeast's biology. In this study, we fused proteins to enhance VP1 expression using S.
