“…Usually, ILF2 forms a heterodimeric complex with ILF3, which is shown to be implicated in DNA repair [43], gene transcription [44], microRNA processing [45, 46], and mRNA translation [47, 48]. Moreover, ILF2, ILF3 or the ILF2/ILF3 heterodimer has also been involved in various virus life cycle including hepatitis C virus (HCV) [49], infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) [50], poliovirus [51], influenza virus [52, 53], dengue virus [54], human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) [55], human T-cell leukemia virus [56], as well as in the host defense mechanism protecting from viral infections [57]. Our previous study has screened that ILF3 interacts with the nsp2 of PRRSV JXwn06 [58].…”
