Bacteria-herpesvirus interaction reveals a proviral role of ISGylation in promoting herpesvirus capsid assembly

Shutong Li, Shu Feng, Yongzhen Liu, Chao Qin, Jianglin Zhang, Takeru Saito, Xinchi Xie, Wen Fu, Rui Wang, Yue Zheng, Zhenfeng Shu, Wayne Wei Yeh, Sean Sasaki, Natalia O. Tjokro, Lin Chen, , Pinghui Feng

This study shows that ISGylation, induced by bacterial co-infection, promotes herpesvirus capsid assembly and replication by modifying viral proteins.

HSV-1 infection induces brain cofilin hyperphosphorylation in the 5xFAD Alzheimer's Disease mouse model

Laia Gharavi-naeini, Zhenfeng Shu, Farhang Alem, Shu Feng, Linda D. Chilin, Pinghui Feng, Yuntao Wu

This study shows HSV-1 infection increases cofilin phosphorylation in 5xFAD mice, linking viral infection to AD pathology through actin cytoskeleton disruption.

The Interferon-inducible NAMPT acts as a protein phosphoribosylase to restrict viral infection

Shu Feng, Na Xie, Yongzhen Liu, Chao Qin, Ali Can Savas, Tingyu Wang, Shutong Li, Youliang Rao, Alexandra Shambayate, Tsui‐Fen Chou, Charles Brenner, Canhua Huang, Pinghui Feng

This study identifies NAMPT's phosphoribosyl-hydrolase activity as a mechanism to restrict HSV-1 infection by de-phosphoribosylating viral structural proteins.
