Cellular glycan modification by B3GAT1 broadly restricts influenza virus infection

Identification of host antiviral restriction factors could provide targets for antiviral therapy. Here, using a genome-wide CRISPR screen, the authors identify the glycosyltransferase B3GAT1 as a host protein which, when ectopically overexpressed, restricts influenza virus infection in vitro and in...

description Identification of host antiviral restriction factors could provide targets for antiviral therapy. Here, using a genome-wide CRISPR screen, the authors identify the glycosyltransferase B3GAT1 as a host protein which, when ectopically overexpressed, restricts influenza virus infection in vitro and in mice, as well as other viruses relying on sialic acid for entry.
