DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX3X maintains the homeostasis of the Zika virus translation-replication cycle

Tomás Hernández‐Díaz, Alonso González-Poblete, Sebastián Giraldo-Ocampo…·Ricardo Soto‐Rifo

This study shows DDX3X promotes ZIKV replication in human microglia by regulating translation-replication cycle through ATP-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

SARS-CoV-2 detection from nasopharyngeal swab samples without RNA extraction

Carolina Beltrán-Pavez, Chantal L. Márquez, Gabriela Muñoz…·Gonzalo P. Barriga

This study shows that one RT-qPCR kit can detect SARS-CoV-2 directly from nasopharyngeal swabs without RNA extraction, suggesting this approach could alleviate reagent shortages.

A Rev-CBP80-eIF4AI complex drives Gag synthesis from the HIV-1 unspliced mRNA

Daniela Toro‐Ascuy, Bárbara Rojas-Araya, Francisco García-de-Gracia…·Ricardo Soto‐Rifo

The paper identifies a Rev-CBP80-eIF4AI complex that facilitates Gag synthesis from HIV-1 unspliced mRNA by promoting nuclear export and translation.
