Zika virus NS3 drives the assembly of a viroplasm-like structure

Tania Sultana, Chunfeng Zheng, Jenna Jones…·Timothy L. Megraw

This paper shows that ZIKV NS3 can drive the formation of a viroplasm-like structure in human cells, with the helicase domain being critical for this process.

A distinct isoform of Msp300 (Nesprin) organizes the perinuclear microtubule organizing center in adipocytes

Garret M. Morton, Maria Pilar Toledo, Chunfeng Zheng…·Timothy L. Megraw

The paper identifies two Msp300 isoforms essential for forming a perinuclear microtubule-organizing center in Drosophila adipocytes, with Msp300-PE being sufficient for its function.
