Influenza virus antagonizes self sensing by RIG-I to enhance viral replication

Mitchell P. Ledwith, Thomas Nipper, Kaitlin A. Davis, Deniz Üresin, Zhenyu Zhang, Mariel Kleer, Denys A. Khaperskyy, Craig McCormick, Anastassia V. Komarova, Andrew Mehle

This study shows influenza virus uses its nucleoprotein to block RIG-I activation by host RNAs, thereby suppressing the antiviral response and enhancing viral replication.

Global remodeling of ADP-ribosylation by PARP1 suppresses influenza A virus infection

Zhenyu Zhang, Isabel R. Uribe, Kaitlin A. Davis, Robert Lyle McPherson, Gloria P. Larson, Mohsen Badiee, Vy Tran, Mitchell P. Ledwith, Elizabeth M Feltman, Shuǐqìng Yú, Yíngyún Caì, Che-Yuan Chang, Xingyi Yang, Zhuo Ma, Paul Chang, , Andrew Mehle

The paper shows influenza A virus infection increases global ADP-ribosylation, which inhibits viral replication, and identifies PARP1 as the main enzyme involved, with NS1 counteracting this effect.
