Influenza A virus (IAV) is a human-infecting pathogen with a history of causing seasonal epidemics and on several occasions worldwide pandemics. Infection by IAV causes a dramatic decrease in host mRNA translation, whereas viral mRNAs are efficiently translated. The IAV mRNAs have a highly conserved 5'-untranslated region (5'UTR) that is rich in adenosine residues. We show that the human polyadenylate binding protein 1 (PABP1) binds to the 5'UTR of the viral mRNAs. The interaction of PABP1 with the viral 5'UTR makes the translation of viral mRNAs more resistant to canonical cap-dependent translation inhibition than model mRNAs. Additionally, PABP1 bound to the viral 5'UTR can recruit eIF4G in an eIF4E-independent manner. These results indicate that PABP1 bound to the viral 5'UTR may promote eIF4E-independent translation initiation.

Transmission of plant viruses that replicate in the insect vector is known as persistent-propagative manner. However, it remains unclear whether such virus-vector relationships also occur between plant viruses and other biological vectors such as arthropod mites. In this study, we investigated the possible replication of orchid fleck virus (OFV), a segmented plant rhabdovirus, within its mite vector (Brevipalpus californicus s.

Several viruses, including influenza A virus (IAV), encode viral factors to hijack cellular RNA biogenesis processes to direct the degradation of host mRNAs, termed "host shutoff." Host shutoff enables viruses to simultaneously reduce antiviral responses and provides preferential access for viral mRNAs to cellular translation machinery. IAV PA-X is one of these factors that selectively shuts off the global host genes.

The rapid approval of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines indicates the versatility of mRNA LNPs in an urgent vaccine need. However, the mRNA vaccines do not induce mucosal cellular responses or broad protection against recent variants. To improve cross-protection of mRNA vaccines, here we engineered a pioneered mRNA LNP encapsulating with mRNA constructs encoding cytokine adjuvant and influenza A hemagglutinin (HA) antigen for intradermal vaccination.

We previously reported that mice immunized twice with a lipid nanoparticle vaccine comprising four monkeypox viral mRNAs raised neutralizing antibodies and antigen-specific T cells and were protected against a lethal intranasal challenge with vaccinia virus (VACV). Here we demonstrated that the mRNA vaccine also protects mice against intranasal and intraperitoneal infections with monkeypox virus and bioluminescence imaging showed that vaccination greatly reduces or prevents VACV replication and spread from intranasal, rectal, and dermal inoculation sites. A single vaccination provided considerable protection that was enhanced by boosting for at least 4 months.

Caviid gammaherpesvirus 1 (CaGHV-1), formerly known as the guinea pig herpes-like virus, is an oncogenic gammaherpesvirus with a sequenced genome but an as-yet uncharacterized transcriptome. Using nanopore long-read RNA sequencing, we annotated the CaGHV-1 genome and constructed a detailed transcriptomic atlas. Our findings reveal diverse viral mRNAs and non-coding RNAs, along with mapped promoter elements for each viral gene.
