Interferon-Stimulated Genes and Immune Metabolites as Broad-Spectrum Biomarkers for Viral Infections by Chien-Hsin Huang, Maudry Laurent-Rolle, Tyler L. Grove, Jack Chun-Chieh Hsu

“…These ISGs encode proteins with diverse antiviral functions, targeting various stages of viral replication and restricting infection spread. Beyond their antiviral functions, ISGs and associated immune metabolites have emerged as promising broad-spectrum biomarkers that can differentiate viral infections from other conditions. …”

Ode to Oseltamivir and Amantadine? by JM Conly, BL Johnston

“…It is a surface glycoprotein possessing enzymatic activity essential for viral replication in both influenza A and B viruses. The N antigen allows the release of newly produced virions from infected host cells, prevents the formation of viral aggregates after release from the host cells, and prevents viral inactivation by respiratory mucous (2,3). …”

Pathogenic Roles of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor during Dengue Virus Infection by Yung-Chun Chuang, Hong-Ru Chen, Trai-Ming Yeh

“…Recent evidence indicates that DENV infection induced MIF production and may contribute to vascular hyperpermeability and viral replication during DENV infection. The expression of both adhesion and coagulation molecules on MIF-stimulated monocytes and endothelial cells is also increased, which may contribute to inflammatory and anticoagulatory states during DHF/DSS. …”

Chemical-guided SHAPE sequencing (cgSHAPE-seq) informs the binding site of RNA-degrading chimeras targeting SARS-CoV-2 5’ untranslated region by Zhichao Tang, Shalakha Hegde, Siyuan Hao, Manikandan Selvaraju, Jianming Qiu, Jingxin Wang

“…Abstract One of the hallmarks of RNA viruses is highly structured untranslated regions (UTRs) which are often essential for viral replication, transcription, or translation. In this report, we discovered a series of coumarin derivatives that bind to a four-way RNA helix called SL5 in the 5’ UTR of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome. …”
