Extended poly(A) tails are a shared feature of herpesvirus mRNAs

Erik Fuhrmann, Sae Toda, Jonas Leins, Pierina Cetraro, Vedang Deshpande, Jasmine Rowell, Edward A. Chapman, Carina Jacobsen, Kai A. Kropp, Mart Matthias Lamers, Elene Loliashvili, Mostafa Saleban, Ruth Verstraten, Carolin Vogt, Wiyada Wongwiwat, , Daniel Pearce Depledge

The paper uses nanopore sequencing to show herpesvirus mRNAs have longer poly(A) tails than cellular or other viral transcripts, suggesting a unique mechanism for enhancing gene expression.

A direct RNA-seq-based EBV Latency Transcriptome Offers Insights into the Biogenesis of EBV Gene Products.

Aaron Mamane-Logsdon, Isabelle Zane, June See Chong, Oscar Hou In Chou, Jiajun Huang, Mahesh Rawal, Adam C. T. Gillman, Wiyada Wongwiwat, Mostafa Saleban, I’ah Donovan-Banfield, David A. Matthews, Robert E. White

This paper uses long-read RNA-seq to analyze EBV transcriptomes in LCLs, identifying new splicing variants, polyA sites, and transcript structures, and provides tools and annotations for future studies.

Sp140L Is a Novel Herpesvirus Restriction Factor

Jana M. Cable, Wiyada Wongwiwat, Jenna C. Grabowski, Robert E. White, Micah A. Luftig

The paper identifies Sp140L as a novel restriction factor that herpesviruses counteract to evade innate immune responses and establish infection.

Virus-induced paraspeckle-like condensates are essential hubs for gene expression and their formation drives genomic instability

Katherine L. Harper, Elena M. Harrington, Connor Hayward, Chinedu Anthony Anene, Wiyada Wongwiwat, Robert E. White, Adrian Whitehouse

This study shows virus-induced paraspeckle-like structures are critical for viral replication and contribute to genomic instability during KSHV and EBV infections.
