1. The proteomics-based approach is effective
in rapid identification of functionally relevant
targets in virus infections.
2. Deubiquitylases that are specifically activated upon Zika/dengue virus infection are key regulators of immune activation and virus secretion via Src-family kinases (SFK) function.
3. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of deubiquitylases and SFKs can effectively attenuate production of viral progenies.
4. A biochemical screening strategy combined with in vivo models can provide powerful means of developing drug screening platforms.
