    E3 ubiquitin ligases are crucial in the interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and host cells, influencing viral replication and immune responses.

  • 2

    SARS-CoV-2 employs molecular mimicry to hijack host E3 ligases, aiding in immune evasion and promoting persistent infection.

  • 3

    Differential expression of tissue-specific E3 ligases impacts COVID-19 severity and symptoms, including Long COVID effects.

  • 4

    Understanding the complex networks of antiviral and proviral E3 ligases is essential for developing targeted antiviral therapies.

  • 5

    E3 ligase-mediated ubiquitin-like modifications play a significant role in the host-virus interaction, warranting further exploration.
