IQGAP1 and IQGAP3 are critical host factors for Marburg virus replication, nucleocapsid transport, and cell-to-cell spread [PDF]
The IQGAP protein family—comprising IQGAP1, IQGAP2, and IQGAP3—exhibits structural similarity but fulfils distinct cellular functions. We previously demonstrated that IQGAP1 is recruited to Marburg virus (MARV)-induced inclusion bodies (IBs) and ...
