Targeting the SUMO E3 ligases (RanBP2 and SUMO E3 Ligase Mimics). Japanese encephalitis virus induces RanBP2 levels, which results in the activation of the Type I interferons. The HIV-1 nucleocapsid interacts with the E3 ligase RanBP2 to ensure the delivery of the viral genome to the nucleus. Both Kaposi’s sarcoma-associate herpesvirus (KSHV) and ADV encode viral E3 ligase mimics. While the KSHV mimic is specific for SUMO-2/3 conjugation, the ADV mimic specificity is unknown. FMDV Lpro has a PIAS-like domain and PIAS-like functions in order to inhibit anti-viral responses and allow viral replication to proceed
