Binding to IFNARs leads to the activation of the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway and the formation of the interferon-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) complex, with the subsequent expression of IFN-stimulated genes [3] that establish an antiviral state and play important roles in determining the host innate and adaptive immune responses [4] . In the following sections, we discuss the antiviral mechanisms mediated by ISGylation of both viral and cellular proteins, with a focus on mitochondrial proteins, as we recently showed that ISG15 modulates essential mitochondrial metabolic processes such as respiration and mitophagy in macrophages, with important implications for innate immune responses [29] . ./cache/cord-294125-v2dr4hm0.txt ./txt/cord-294125-v2dr4hm0.txt
