Here are the most recent, relevant updates I can confirm right now for interferon-inducible GTPase 5 (GBP5/IFN-inducible GTPase 5). The newest item I found in available sources is a 2025 paper describing a mechanism of antiviral activity via inhibition of viral glycoprotein N-linked glycosylation.[1]
Latest confirmed research update (2025)
- GBP5 antiviral mechanism (SARS‑CoV‑2 model): A study reports that the interferon-stimulated gene guanylate-binding protein 5 (GBP5) inhibits N-linked glycosylation of the SARS‑CoV‑2 spike protein (S protein), leading to misfolding/ER retention and reduced virion assembly and release.[1]
Background context (helps interpret “latest news”)
- GBP5 is part of the broader IFN-inducible GTPase (guanylate-binding protein) family and has roles in innate antiviral defenses and inflammation-linked pathways (e.g., interactions relevant to inflammasome biology are discussed in broader reviews).[3][4]
If you tell me whether you mean human GBP5 specifically (gene GBP5) or whether you want mouse vs human, I can narrow the “latest news” to the exact organism and disease area (e.g., COVID-19, HIV, inflammasome/NLRP3, cancer immunology).
