A TIR-SAVED effector mediates antiviral immunity via a conserved host signal

Deepak Kumar Choudhary, Dana Vassover, Himani Singla, Hadar Shukrun, Uri Gophna

This study shows a TIR-SAVED effector can act independently as an antiviral defense, clearing viruses without its cyclase partner and using a host-produced second messenger.

An archaeal CBASS shows protective activity against both chronic and lytic viruses

Deepak Kumar Choudhary, Himani Singla, Dana Vassover, Noam Golan, Leah Reshef, Hadar Shukrun, Aime Bienfait Igiraneza, Mechthild Pohlschröder, Uri Gophna

This study shows that the archaeal CBASS system H-CBASS2 protects against both lytic and chronic viruses by depleting NAD+, with different kinetics depending on infection type.
