A novel proviral mechanism for the ISG, Shiftless, during human coronavirus infection

Taylor M. Shue, Georgios Mourtzouchos, Dar-Yin Li, Yee Tsuey Ong, Antonis Athanasiadis, Maria Bousali, Madeleine K Sanders, Sophie N. Spector, Christopher Rivera-Bonilla, Khadija Ndoye, Kenneth C Levenson, J. Cuba, J Harris, Kelly Mieck, Shuiyun Lan, , Eleftherios Michailidis

This study reveals that the ISG Shiftless (SHFL) has both antiviral and proviral functions during coronavirus infection, enhancing susceptibility while modulating IFN signaling.

Impact of hepatitis E virus host- and virus-derived insertions on the antiviral response in primary human hepatocytes

Sarah Schlienkamp, Maximilian Klaus Nocke, Rainer G. Ulrich, Volker Kinast, Eike Steinmann, Daniel Tödt

This study examines how different HEV HVR insertion variants affect host transcriptomic responses in PHHs, finding that HVR duplication variants elicit weaker host responses and reduced ISG induction.
