The Cellular NMD Pathway Restricts Zika Virus Infection and Is Targeted by the Viral Capsid Protein
6 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a significant global health threat, as infection has been linked to serious neurological complications, including microcephaly. Using a human stem cell-derived neural progenitor model system, we find that a critical cellular quality control process called the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway is disrupted during ZIKV infection. Importantly, disruption of the NMD pathway is a known...
