Norovirus Co-opts NINJ1 for Selective Secretion
2026-09-29
Song and colleagues show that murine norovirus uses NINJ1-mediated plasma membrane rupture to release the viral protein NS1, while caspase-3 processing and direct NS1–NINJ1 interactions provide cargo selectivity. The study combines CRISPR screening, infection models, imaging, mutagenesis, and mouse experiments to connect unconventional viral secretion with oral infection efficiency.

How p38α Inhibitors Promote Dephosphorylation
2026-09-25
A preprint reports that selected p38α kinase inhibitors do more than block catalytic activity: they stabilize an activation-loop conformation that makes a phospho-threonine more accessible to the phosphatase WIP1. Biochemical and structural findings suggest that kinase conformation can influence how quickly a phosphatase removes an activating phosphate, offering a potential design principle for pathway inhibition.
