The paper shows that the T9I mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 E protein confers autophagy resistance in Omicron variants, contributing to their spread.

This paper develops fluorescent KSHV strains and a hybrid RRV expressing KSHV gB to show low pH is required for KSHV membrane fusion during endocytosis.

This study shows that glycoprotein K8.1 is critical for KSHV tissue tropism in marmosets, but not for initial infection.

This study shows DNA virus infections activate transposable elements (TEs) through KAP1/TRIM28 inhibition and DUX4 expression, with in vivo correlations in cancer patients.

This paper identifies Tim-1 and Tim-4 as mediators of KSHV and RRV entry, showing their role in viral infection and highlighting their unique function compared to other herpesviruses.

The paper identifies CRNKL1 as a regulator that enhances nuclear retention of intron-retaining HIV-1 and cellular mRNAs, affecting their cytoplasmic levels.
