    Discrete viral E2 lysine residues and scavenger receptor MARCO are required for clearance of circulating alphaviruses

    Kathryn S Carpentier, Bennett J Davenport ... Thomas E Morrison
    The scavenger receptor MARCO and liver phagocytes are required for clearance of circulating alphavirus particles and thereby limit viremia and viral dissemination.

    Molecular organization and dynamics of the fusion protein Gc at the hantavirus surface

    Eduardo A Bignon, Amelina Albornoz ... Nicole D Tischler
    Hantavirus spikes are related laterally by 2-fold Gc contacts that can be disulfide-linked and display a temperature-dependent dynamic behavior at neutral pH, exposing and masking the Gc fusion loops.

    Structural analyses at pseudo atomic resolution of Chikungunya virus and antibodies show mechanisms of neutralization

    Siyang Sun, Ye Xiang ... Michael G Rossmann
    Electron cryo-microscopy has been used to determine the structure of Chikungunya virus-like particles and to provide new insights into their interactions with four different antibodies.

    KHNYN is essential for the zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) to restrict HIV-1 containing clustered CpG dinucleotides

    Mattia Ficarelli, Harry Wilson ... Chad M Swanson
    KHNYN, a putative endoribonuclease, interacts with the zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP) and is required for the inhibition of HIV replication and RNA abundance by CpG dinucleotides.

    Mosquito community composition shapes virus prevalence patterns along anthropogenic disturbance gradients

    Kyra Hermanns, Marco Marklewitz ... Sandra Junglen
    Analysis of naturally infected mosquitoes shows that ecosystem disturbance can lead to a turnover in host community composition and that more individuals of a single species are a key driver of virus emergence.

    Evolution-guided functional analyses reveal diverse antiviral specificities encoded by IFIT1 genes in mammals

    Matthew D Daugherty, Aaron M Schaller ... Harmit S Malik
    Evolutionary innovation and turnover in the IFIT1 antiviral gene family has led to diverse repertoires of antiviral specificity across mammals.

    Lipid hijacking: A unifying theme in vector-borne diseases

    Anya J O'Neal, L Rainer Butler ... Joao HF Pedra
    A conceptual and unifying framework with a critical appraisal of lipid hijacking by microbes cycling between an arthropod vector and a mammalian host is explored.

    An mRNA-binding channel in the ES6S region of the translation 48S-PIC promotes RNA unwinding and scanning

    Irene Díaz-López, René Toribio ... Iván Ventoso
    The ES6S region of the small subunit ribosome makes a place for the threading and secondary structure unwinding of mRNA, which regulates genome-wide translation.

    Widespread discrepancy in Nnt genotypes and genetic backgrounds complicates granzyme A and other knockout mouse studies

    Daniel J Rawle, Thuy T Le ... Andreas Suhrbier
    Granzyme A-/- mice, which have contributed to a body of research into this enzyme, emerge to have a mixed C57BL/6J-C57BL/6N genetic background, compromising our understanding of granzyme A and highlighting a widespread problem for knockout mouse studies generally.
