Open DOI
Primer: Functions and evolution of viral proteins
Viruses encode an enormous variety of proteins that jointly comprise the largest pool of protein diversity on Earth. At coarse grain, the viral pan-proteome can be partitioned into four classes of proteins that differ in their evolutiona...

Primer: Giant viruses of protists
Giant viruses infecting protists have expanded our understanding of viral diversity. These members of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota possess genomes that can exceed 2.5 Mb and encode hundreds to thousands of proteins, including functions ...

Primer: Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1)
The human T-cell leukemia virus HTLV-1—also known as human T-lymphotropic virus type 1—was the first human retrovirus discovered. Unlike HIV-1, it has been present in humans for tens of thousands of years, and in consequence HTLV-1 is ex...

Limited adaptive mutations but deterministic genome formula variation in bluetongue virus
Arthropod-borne viruses or arboviruses alternate between vertebrates and arthropods, facing distinct selection pressures in each host. Surprisingly, mechanisms facilitating host alternation remain unstudied. Here, we investigate two phen...

mRNA-LNP delivery of a homo-tandem nanobody protects goslings from novel goose astrovirus infection
Novel goose astrovirus (nGAstV) infection causes visceral gout and high mortality in goslings, but at present, there are no effective vaccines or antiviral agents. Here, we identified a neutralizing nanobody (Nb60) targeting the spike (P...

Variant escape site mapping and characterization of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid rapid antigen test antibodies
Rapid antigen tests (RATs) were a critical tool for diagnosing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during the height of the pandemic, but their performance depends on antibodies that remain robust to vi...

Beyond independent roles: spatiotemporal coupling between viral fusion proteins and viroporins in viral replication and host inflammation
Membrane fusion and permeabilization are key membrane remodeling processes hijacked by viruses. Although fusion proteins and viroporins have long been characterized as discrete functional modules, emerging evidence supports the spatiotem...

Revisiting mRNA capping in Mononegavirales : a promising, yet underexplored antiviral target
MRNA capping is a co-transcriptional, nuclear process in eukaryotes that adds a cap onto the 5' end of RNA to confer stability, efficient translation, and nuclear export. Viruses have evolved diverse strategies by mimicking or subverting...

Avian influenza A virus polymerase gene leads to temperature-resistant genome replication
Influenza A viruses (IAV) pose a persistent pandemic threat. Successful cross-species transmission from waterfowl to mammals requires host adaptation for efficient replication and spread. Avian IAVs are adapted to the temperature of the ...

SERINC5 is the primary target of retroviral antagonists among human SERINC paralogs and requires a tri-cysteine motif for its counteraction by HIV-1 Nef
The human transmembrane protein SERINC5 incorporates into budding HIV-1 particles and inhibits virus fusion with target cells. Although three other human SERINC paralogs display antiviral activity, their contribution to retroviral restri...
