    Document: Ubiquitination is a key signaling mechanism used by cells to detect and respond to viral infection (8) . Various ubiquitin signals play important roles during the activation of transcriptional programs, such as the NF-κB and IFN response (8, 9) . With the initiation of IFN signaling, the products of roughly 300 IFN stimulated genes (ISGs) mount an antiviral response (10) . Among the ISGs are the ubiquitin-like modifier ISG15 and its assembly machinery consisting of UBE1L, UBE2L6/UbcH8, and the HECT E3 ligase HERC5 (11) . ISG15 comprises two ubiquitin fold domains in tandem [an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain (NTD) and a C-terminal ubiquitin-like domain (CTD)], and like ubiquitin, it is attached to Lys residues on target proteins via its C-terminal Gly-Gly (Gly156-Gly157) motif. Cotranslational attachment of ISG15 to viral capsid proteins inhibits virus assembly (12) , and additional intra-and extracellular roles of ISG15 are also emerging (13, 14) . Together, ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifications regulate most antiviral signaling cascades.
