TRIM21 is a molecular rheostat for influenza A virus replication

Qi Wen Teo, Huibin Lv, Tossapol Pholcharee…·Nicholas C. Wu

This study shows TRIM21 acts as a molecular rheostat regulating influenza A virus replication by modulating ubiquitination and innate immune signaling, with PRKDC as a compensatory antiviral factor when TRIM21 is absent.

Deep mutational scanning of influenza A virus NEP reveals pleiotropic mutations in its N-terminal domain

Qi Wen Teo, Yiquan Wang, Huibin Lv…·Nicholas C. Wu

This study uses deep mutational scanning to analyze the functional impact of NEP mutations in influenza A virus, revealing pleiotropic effects on viral replication and host adaptation.
