Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) causes acute enteric disease and mortality in seronegative neonatal piglets. Previously we have demonstrated that PDCoV infection suppresses the production of interferon-beta (IFN-β), while the detailed mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that nonstructural protein 5 (nsp5) of PDCoV, the 3C-like protease, significantly inhibits Sendai virus (SEV)-induced IFN-β production by targeting the NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO), confirmed by the diminished function of NEMO cleaved by PDCoV. The PDCoV nsp5 cleavage site in the NEMO protein was identified as glutamine 231, and was identical to the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus nsp5 cleavage site, revealing the likelihood of a common target in NEMO for coronaviruses. Furthermore, this cleavage impaired the ability of NEMO to activate the IFN response and downstream signaling. Taken together, our findings reveal PDCoV nsp5 to be a newly identified IFN antagonist and enhance the understanding of immune evasion by deltacoronaviruses.

College of Veterinary Medicine, Northeast Agricultural University, Harbin, PR China.
Article Synopsis
- PDCoV is increasingly affecting newborn piglets, causing diarrhea, and poses significant challenges to the pig industry due to its potential for cross-species transmission.
- A new PDCoV strain was isolated from piglets in China, showing high genetic similarity to other strains and notable amino acid mutations in its S protein that alter its structure and function.
- The study confirmed that this strain damages the intestinal barrier of piglets, leads to clinical symptoms like diarrhea, and lays the groundwork for future vaccine and diagnostic development to combat piglet diarrhea.

Viral infections trigger the integrated stress response (ISR) in eukaryotic cells that leads to the activation of eIF2α kinases, the elevation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) phosphorylation, and thereby the shutdown of global protein synthesis that viruses rely on to replicate. Coronaviruses and other viruses have evolved various subversion mechanisms to counteract the antiviral ISR. These intricate host-virus interactions may be exploited by pharmacologically activating the host ISR for the development of host-directed antivirals (HDAs), an increasingly relevant area of research.

Article Synopsis
- Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) causes severe diarrhea in piglets, and effective prevention methods are currently lacking.
- Researchers synthesized the PDCoV gene to create a recombinant plasmid that expressed the nonstructural protein 13 (NSP13), which has crucial helicase activity.
- The study confirmed NSP13's ability to unwind DNA and its regulatory factors, offering insights for future antiviral drug development aimed at combatting PDCoV.

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a swine enteropathogenic coronavirus that causes severe diarrhea in piglets, the development of novel vaccines is of great value in the prevention and control of PDCoV. Here, we selected attenuated Salmonella typhimurium SL7207 to deliver pVAX1-S1, resulting in the oral vaccine strain, SL7207 (pVAX1-S1). In immunized mice, SL7207 (pVAX1-S1) induced PDCoV-specific humoral IgG, IgA, neutralizing antibodies, mucosal sIgA, up-regulation of CD8 T cells, and increased levels of Th1 cytokines (IFN-γ and IL-2).

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), a newly discovered intestinal coronavirus, has rapidly spread among pigs worldwide and has shown the potential for cross-species infection. However, the interaction mechanism between PDCoV and the host's antiviral response is still poorly understood. In this study, an E3 ubiquitin ligase FBXW8 was explored on PDCoV proliferation.
