Influenza A viruses (IAVs) must navigate through a dense extracellular mucus to infect airway epithelial cells. The mucous layer, composed of glycosylated biopolymers (mucins), presents sialic acid that binds to ligands on the viral envelope and can be irreversibly cleaved by viral enzymes. It was recently discovered that filamentous IAVs exhibit directed persistent motion along their long axis on sialic acid-coated surfaces.

Synthetic genome readers/regulators (SynGRs) are bifunctional molecules that are rationally designed to bind specific genomic sequences and engage cellular machinery that regulates the expression of targeted genes. The prototypical SynGR1 targets GAA trinucleotide repeats and recruits the BET family of transcriptional regulatory proteins via a flexibly tethered ligand, JQ1. This pan-BET ligand binds both tandem bromodomains of BET proteins (BD1 and BD2).
