Host protein kinases required for SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid phosphorylation and viral replication

Kinase substrate specificity profiling assigns the phosphorylation cluster in the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid SR-rich domain to a cascade initiated by SRPK1 and SRPK2 and extended by GSK-3 and casein kinase 1, whose inhibition suppresses coronavirus replication.

The Evolution of Antiviral Defense Systems

A synthesis arguing that antiviral defenses across the three domains of life reuse a small set of designs, antisense recognition joined to nuclease activity and later to transcriptional and secreted responses, and proposing that chordates lost RNA interference through incompatibility with interferon.
