Poly-ADP Ribosyl Polymerase 1 (PARP1) Regulates Influenza A Virus Polymerase by Liset Westera, Alisha M. Jennings, Jad Maamary, Martin Schwemmle, Adolfo García-Sastre, Eric Bortz

“…To infect new species, IAV typically must overcome a number of species barriers to entry, replication, and egress, even while virus replication is counteracted by antiviral host factors and innate immune mechanisms. A number of host factors have been found to regulate the replication of IAV by interacting with the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP). …”
