Tembusu virus (TMUV), an emerging avian orthoflavivirus, causes severe economic losses due to egg-drop syndrome and fatal encephalitis in domestic waterfowl. To combat this threat, the host immune system plays a crucial role controlling eliminating TMUV infection. Understanding mechanisms of response is thus vital for developing effective strategies against virus. In study, we investigated antiviral activities duck TRIM family proteins (duTRIM) TMUV, focusing particularly on duTRIM14 as potent restriction factor. We showed that overexpression significantly inhibits replication, while its deficiency leads increased viral titers. elucidate novel mechanism by which interacts with NS1 protein, facilitating K27/K29-linked polyubiquitination subsequent proteasomal degradation. The Lys141 residue was identified critical process, removal enhancing replication both vitro vivo . Furthermore, TBK1 (duTBK1), promoting K63-linked Lys30 Lys401, substantially augments IFN-β production during Taken together, these results provide dual-action suppresses simultaneously degradation modulating duTBK1 activity.
