“…The ILF2/ILF3 complex is a crucial regulatory factor involved in apoptosis [ 14 ], DNA repair [ 15 ], gene transcription [ 16 ], microRNA processing [ 17 , 18 ], mRNA translation [ 19 ], and host defense [ 20 ]. In addition, the ILF2/ILF3 heterodimer was reported to regulate the replication process of numerous viruses, such as hepatitis C virus [ 21 ], infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) [ 22 ], poliovirus [ 23 ], influenza virus [ 24 ], dengue virus [ 25 ], human immunodeficiency virus type 1 [ 26 ], human T-cell leukemia virus [ 27 ], porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) [ 28 ], and Japanese encephalitis virus [ 29 ]. Interestingly, ILF2 functions as both a negative regulator [ 28 , 29 ] and a positive regulator [ 26 ] in the viral replication process.…”
