Based on the well-described case of AMDV, we can In some cases, apoptosis induction by the host cell leads to exactly what is expected, namely viral attenuation, but surprisingly with the help of viral protein cleavages. However H-1PV is able to activate caspases in non-transformed cells, leading to the cleavage of NS1, a non-structural protein (NS) notably involved in viral DNA replication and gene expression by transactivating P38 promoter, which controls the synthesis of capsid proteins. In HRT18jap1 cells, the infection causes apoptosis but is not productive, suggesting that caspase activation (and possibly N caspase cleavage) prevents progeny virion generation.
