KSHV promotes oncogenic FOS to inhibit nuclease AEN and transactivate RGS2 for AKT phosphorylation

This study identifies KSHV ORF57 as a viral RNA-binding protein that stabilizes FOS RNA, inhibits AEN, and transactivates RGS2 to promote AKT phosphorylation during lytic infection.

The lnc-FANCI-2 intrinsically restricts RAS signaling in HPV16-infected cervical cancer

This study identifies lnc-FANCI-2 as a regulator of RAS signaling in HPV16-infected cervical cancer, showing its role in lesion progression and patient survival.

Genome-wide regulation of KSHV RNA splicing by viral RNA-binding protein ORF57

This study identifies ORF57's role in regulating KSHV RNA splicing, revealing its impact on viral gene expression and immune evasion during lytic infection.

RNA helicase DDX6 in P-bodies is essential for the assembly of stress granules

This study shows DDX6 in P-bodies is essential for stress granule assembly, with its helicase activity suppressing stress granule formation in normal cells.

Expression of HPV oncogenes from a single integration site in cervical cancer cell lines

The paper identifies that HPV oncogenes are expressed from a single integration site in cervical cancer cell lines, revealing mechanisms of viral-host fusion transcript production and their impact on cell growth.

Papillomavirus can be transmitted through the blood and produce infections in blood recipients: Evidence from two animal models

This paper shows that papillomavirus can be transmitted through blood and cause infections in animal models, suggesting blood transfusion as a potential route for HPV infection and cancer in humans.
