Structural modeling reveals viral proteins that manipulate host immune signaling

Nitzan Tal, Romi Hadary, Renee B. Chang, Ilya А. Osterman, R.L. Jacobson, Erez Yirmiya, Nathalie Béchon, Dina Hochhauser, Mercedes Rivera, Barak Madhala, Jeremy Garb, Moshe Goldsmith, Tanita Wein, Philip J. Kranzusch, Gil Amitai, Rotem Sorek

The paper identifies viral proteins that manipulate bacterial immune signaling by analyzing structural and biophysical traits, and develops a computational pipeline to predict such proteins in phage genomes.
