"CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of USP18 enhances type I IFN responsiveness and restricts HIV-1 infection in macrophages.The IFN-stimulated gene ubiquitin-specific proteinase 18 (USP18) encodes a protein that negatively regulates T1 IFN signaling via stearic inhibition of JAK1 recruitment to the IFN-receptor 2 subunit (IFNAR2)."

"Recent data by Zhang and coworkers (Malakhova et al., 2006) revealed, however, that USP18 attenuates JAK-STAT signaling, and thereby the type 1 IFN response, in a non-enzymatic manner, i.e., by directly competing with JAK1 for binding to the IFNAR2 subunit of the type 1 IFN receptor."
