RNA is a central molecule for RNA virRNA is a central molecule for RNA virus infection. However, viral genomes encode very few proteins that are able to interact with viral RNA. Hence, viruses co-opt cellular RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to support infection. The host cell also employs RBPs to combat viruses through the recognition of unusual signatures present viral RNAs. Despite these critical roles, the complement of cellular RBPs involved in infection remains largely unknown. This research programme aims to discover comprehensively and unbiasedly the repertoire of cellular RBPs endowed with master regulatory roles in virus infection. To achieve this, we will exploit a novel method…
