nsp1

Inhibits host translation by interacting with binds to the host 40S subunit in ribosomal complexes, including the 43S pre-initiation complex and the non-translating 80S ribosome. The C-terminus binds to and obstructs ribosomal mRNA entry tunnel. Thereby inhibits antiviral response triggered by innate immunity or interferons. The nsp1-40S ribosome complex further induces an endonucleolytic cleavage near the 5'UTR of host mRNAs, targeting them for degradation (By similarity). Viral mRNAs less susceptible to nsp1-mediated inhibition of translation, because of their 5'-end leader sequence. By suppressing host gene expression, nsp1 facilitates efficient viral gene expression in infected cells and evasion from host immune response (By similarity). [Uniprot]
