Structural homology screens reveal host-derived poxvirus protein families impacting inflammasome activity
Summary: Viruses acquire host genes via horizontal transfer and can express them to manipulate host biology during infections. Some homologs retain sequence identity, but evolutionary divergence can obscure host origins. We use structural modeling to compare vaccinia virus proteins with metazoan pro...
