The interferon-stimulated gene IFITM3 restricts West Nile virus infection and pathogenesis [PDF]
The interferon-induced transmembrane protein (IFITM) family of proteins inhibit infection of several different enveloped viruses in cell culture by virtue of their ability to restrict entry and fusion from late endosomes.

Zika virus infection reprograms global transcription of host cells to allow sustained infection. [PDF]
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging virus causally linked to neurological disorders, including congenital microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome. There are currently no targeted therapies for ZIKV infection.

Altered m6A modification of specific cellular transcripts affects Flaviviridae infection
The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) can modulate mRNA fate and thus affect many biological processes. We analyzed m6A modification across the transcriptome following infection by dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV ...

G-quadruplexes and G-quadruplex ligands: targets and tools in antiviral therapy [PDF]
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical nucleic acids secondary structures that form within guanine-rich strands of regulatory genomic regions. G4s have been extensively described in the human genome, especially in telomeres and oncogene promoters; in ...

Flaviviridae Viruses and Oxidative Stress: Implications for Viral Pathogenesis
Oxidative stress is induced once the balance of generation and neutralization of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is broken in the cell, and it plays crucial roles in a variety of natural and diseased processes.

New insights into control of arbovirus replication and spread by insect RNA interference pathways [PDF]
Arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses are transmitted by vectors, such as mosquitoes, to susceptible vertebrates. Recent research has shown that arbovirus replication and spread in mosquitoes is not passively tolerated but induces host responses to control ...

Mapping glycoprotein structure reveals defining events in the evolution of the Flaviviridae
Viral glycoproteins drive membrane fusion in enveloped viruses and determine host range, tissue tropism and pathogenesis. Despite their importance, there is a fragmentary understanding of glycoproteins within the Flaviviridae; for many species the ...
