    Histone deacetylase 3 promotes innate antiviral immunity through deacetylation of TBK1

    TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), a core kinase of antiviral pathways, activates the production of interferons (IFNs). It has been reported that deacetylation activates TBK1; however, the precise mechanism still r...
