Influenza A virus (IAV) remains a significant global public health threat, causing substantial illness and economic burden. Despite existing antiviral drugs, the emergence of resistant strains necessitates alternative therapeutic strategies. This review explores the complex interplay between the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) and IAV pathogenesis. We discuss how IAV manipulates the UPS to promote its lifecycle, while also highlighting how host cells utilise the UPS to counteract viral infection. Recent research on deubiquitinases as potential regulators of IAV infection is also addressed. By elucidating the multifaceted role of the UPS in IAV pathogenesis, this review aims to identify potential targets for novel therapeutic interventions.

The Proteasome
In this pathway, the target proteins are first tagged with small proteins called ubiquitin. This involves participation of a series of enzymes including— E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme), and E3...

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
