    An RNA-centric dissection of host complexes controlling flavivirus infection

    Flaviviruses, including dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV), cause severe human disease. Co-opting cellular factors for viral translation and viral genome replication at the endoplasmic reticulum is a sh...

    SETD3 is an actin histidine methyltransferase that prevents primary dystocia

    For more than 50 years, the methylation of mammalian actin at histidine 73 has been known to occur1. Despite the pervasiveness of His73 methylation, which we find is conserved in several model animals and plants,...

    Genetic dissection of Flaviviridae host factors through genome-scale CRISPR screens

    A CRISPR screening approach shows that endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein complexes, including the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) protein complex, are important for infection by dengue virus and ot...
