Identification of DAXX as a restriction factor of SARS-CoV-2 through a CRISPR/Cas9 screen
Here, Mac Kain and Maarifi et al. perform a functional CRISPR/Cas9 screen to identify SARS-CoV-2 restriction factors in A549 cells. They identify DAXX, a scaffold protein of nuclear bodies with diverse functions, that has anti-viral activity post SARS-CoV-2 entry, while SARS-CoV-2 has evolved a mech...
