Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic dissection of Flaviviridae host factors through genome-scale CRISPR screens

TL;DR: A pooled CRISPR genetic screening strategy is used to comprehensively dissect host factors required for dengue virus and Hepatitis C virus, and finds an unexpected link between intracellular flavin adenine dinucleotide levels and HCV replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

A CRISPR toolbox to study virus-host interactions

TL;DR: The relative ease of use and reproducibility of CRISPR–Cas make it a powerful tool for probing virus–host interactions and for identifying new antiviral targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

SETD3 is an actin histidine methyltransferase that prevents primary dystocia

TL;DR: SETD3 methylates mammalian actin at His73, and SETD3 deficiency impairs stimulus-induced contraction in primary human uterine smooth muscle cells and leads to maternal dystocia in mice, which supports the broader hypothesis that protein histidine methylation acts as a common regulatory mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

STR Data for the AmpFlSTR Identifiler loci in three ethnic groups (Malay, Chinese, Indian) of the Malaysian population.

TL;DR: Allele frequencies for the 15 STR loci in the AmpF l STR Identifiler kit were determined and compared for the three main ethnic groups of the Malaysian population comprising 210 Malays, 219 Chinese and 209 Indians as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide RNAi Screen Identifies Novel Host Proteins Required for Alphavirus Entry

TL;DR: Fuzzy homologue (FUZ), a protein with reported roles in planar cell polarity and cilia biogenesis, was required for the clathrin-dependent internalization of both alphaviruses and the classical endocytic ligand transferrin, and TSPAN9 was critical for the efficient fusion of low pH-triggered virus with the endosome membrane.
