Our Myoferlin paper is out in Nature Communications
We show that the host protein Myoferlin is part of the late-stage vesicles that carry influenza genomes towards the cell surface, and that other enveloped RNA viruses use it too.

We review how influenza A virus RNAs find their way around the infected cell, and the host trafficking pathways they borrow along the way.
By capturing the cellular proteins that bind viral RNA during infection, we uncovered a role for MKRN2 in trafficking influenza mRNA.
A collaboration with Nadia Naffakh's lab at Institut Pasteur maps the proteins bound to influenza mRNA and finds a role for TDP-43 in viral replication.
