Viral N protein hijacks deaminase-containing RNA granules to enhance SARS-CoV-2 mutagenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Host cell-encoded deaminases act as antiviral restriction factors to impair viral replication and production through introducing mutations in the viral genome. We sought to understand whether deaminases are involved in SARS-CoV-2 mutation and replication, and how the viral factors interact with deaminases to trigger these processes. Here, we show that APOBEC and ADAR deaminases act as the driving forces for...
