The group A rotavirus (RVA) genome comprising 11 double-stranded RNAs encodes six structural proteins (VP1-VP4, VP6, and VP7) and six non-structural proteins (NSP1-NSP6). Among these 12 rotaviral proteins, NSP6 has been less studied as to its func...

Inhibition of transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) is expected to block the spike protein-mediated fusion of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Nafamostat, a potent TMPRSS2 inhibitor as well as a candidate for anti-...
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an etiologic agent of infectious mononucleosis and several malignancies. Here, we found that reactivation of EBV resulted in increased programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in a cell type-dependent manner. L...
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mediates various biological processes by affecting RNA stability, splicing, and translational efficiency. The roles of m6A modification in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in the lytic phase are unclear. Here, knockout o...

Human rotavirus strains having the unconventional G4P[6] genotype have been sporadically identified in diarrheic patients in different parts of the world. However, the whole genome of only one human G4P[6] strain from Africa (central Africa) has b...
