Sendai virus (SeV), a pneumotropic virus of rodents, has an accessory protein, V, and the V protein has been shown to interact with MDA5, inhibiting IRF3 activation and interferon‐β production. In the present study, interaction of the V protein with various IRF3‐activating proteins including MDA5 was investigated in a co‐immunoprecipitation assay. We also investigated interaction of mutant V proteins from SeVs of low pathogenicity with MDA5. The V protein interacted with at least retinoic acid inducible gene I, inhibitor of κB kinase epsilon and IRF3 other than MDA5. However, only MDA5 interacted with the V protein dependently on the C‐terminal V unique (Vu) region, inhibiting IRF3 reporter activation. The Vu region has been shown to be important for viral pathogenicity. We thus focused on interaction of the V protein with MDA5. Point mutations in the Vu region destabilized the V protein or abolished the interaction with MDA5 when the V protein was stable. The V‐R320G protein was highly stable and interacted with MDA5, but did not inhibit activation of IRF3 induced by MDA5. Viral pathogenicity of SeV is related to the inhibitory effect of the V protein on MDA5, but is not always related to the binding of V protein with MDA5.
