The diverse functions of viral microproteins

2026-08-24

Abstract excerpt

A large fraction of the uncharacterized proteome consists of microproteins. Viruses, rich in microproteins with potent activities, provide a unique system for exploring their functions and evolution. Here, we systematically annotate viral microproteins through a phenotype-first approach: construction of a >50,000-element small ORF library spanning the microprotein-coding potential of human-infecting viruses, follo...
