"However, by de-conjugating ISG15, the virus also creates free ISG15, which in turn may affect the immune response in two opposite pathways: free ISG15 negatively regulates IFN signaling in humans by binding non-catalytically to USP18, yet at the same time free ISG15 can be secreted from the cell and induce the IFN pathway of the neighboring cells."

"ISG15 is known to promote USP18-mediated inhibition of type I 437 IFN signaling by stabilizing USP18 activity and preventing its proteasomal degradation(Zhang et 438 al., 2015), underscoring the role of ISG15 as a negative regulator of type I IFN responses when 439 co-upregulated with USP18."

"This lack of intracellular free ISG15 prevents the accumulation of USP18, a known negative regulator of IFN-alpha and beta, resulting in enhanced IFN-alpha and beta immunity and autoinflammation, resembling Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome and spondyloenchondromatosis [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."
