    Zika virus remodels and hijacks IGF2BP2 ribonucleoprotein complex to promote viral replication organelle biogenesis

    Clément Mazeaud, Stefan Pfister ... Laurent Chatel-Chaix
    Through interactions with viral RNA and NS5, Zika virus changes the composition of the IGF2BP2-containing ribonucleoprotein complex for the benefit of the viral RNA amplification step of its life cycle.

    Parallel evolution between genomic segments of seasonal human influenza viruses reveals RNA-RNA relationships

    Jennifer E Jones, Valerie Le Sage ... Seema S Lakdawala
    Phylogenetic relationships between viral RNA segments are distinct between subtypes and lineages of seasonal human influenza A viruses and implicate RNA-RNA relationships as novel drivers of influenza virus evolution.

    ATP hydrolysis by the viral RNA sensor RIG-I prevents unintentional recognition of self-RNA

    Charlotte Lässig, Sarah Matheisl ... Karl-Peter Hopfner
    Mutations within the ATPase domain of RIG-I in patients with Singleton-Merten Syndrome prevent ATP-hydrolysis dependent dissociation of RIG-I from double-stranded RNA and lead to unintentional constitutive signaling through increased binding of endogenous RNA.

    Dissection of specific binding of HIV-1 Gag to the 'packaging signal' in viral RNA

    Mauricio Comas-Garcia, Siddhartha AK Datta ... Alan Rein
    While HIV-1 Gag protein binds tightly to several RNAs, it binds to the viral RNA 'packaging signal' with higher specificity than to control RNAs.

    Diverse fates of uracilated HIV-1 DNA during infection of myeloid lineage cells

    Erik C Hansen, Monica Ransom ... James T Stivers
    Uracil/adenine base pairs in HIV-1 DNA are attacked by the uracil base excision repair machinery in macrophages, which leads to HIV restriction and viral genome diversification by transcription-associated mutagenesis.

    Influenza virus transcription and progeny production are poorly correlated in single cells

    David J Bacsik, Bernadeta Dadonaite ... Jesse D Bloom
    Quantification of both viral transcription and progeny production from single influenza-infected cells shows that the cells that produce the most viral RNA often do not produce the most virions.

    Cryo-electron tomography reveals novel features of a viral RNA replication compartment

    Kenneth J Ertel, Desirée Benefield ... Paul Ahlquist
    Cryo-electron tomography unveils striking new structural components of positive-strand virus RNA replication compartments, greatly advancing mechanistic insights into the structure, assembly, function and control of these critical complexes.

    Viral-inducible Argonaute18 confers broad-spectrum virus resistance in rice by sequestering a host microRNA

    Jianguo Wu, Zhirui Yang ... Yi Li
    The cooperative antiviral activity of two distinct AGO proteins could be exploited to provide a new strategy for controlling viral diseases in rice.
