Genetic innovation in coronaviruses driven by a viral nuclease

Christopher Bianco, Alex Stabell, Manivel Lodha, Miranda Aldis, Michael A. Tartell, Théodora Hatziioannou, Paul D. Bieniasz

This study shows that the coronavirus nuclease NSP15 drives insertion mutations, which can enhance viral transmissibility, as seen in the SARS-CoV-2 furin cleavage site.

Interferon-gamma induced RNF213 targets nascent double membrane vesicles to inhibit coronavirus primary translation

Michael A. Tartell, Randa Tissawak, Lennard Voss, Manivel Lodha, Christopher Bianco, Masashi Iwamoto, Daniel Poston, Théodora Hatziioannou, Yiska Weisblum, Paul D. Bieniasz

This study identifies RNF213 as an IFN-gamma-induced antiviral protein that inhibits coronavirus translation by targeting nascent double membrane vesicles.
