Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus M protein suppresses type I interferon expression through the inhibition of TBK1-dependent phosphorylation of IRF3.

Although the M protein could mildly suppress IFN-β promoter activation induced by RIG-I N at a marginally significant level, a dose-dependent effect was coarsely observed ( Figure 3A ; bars 3–5 compared with bar 2).
