TREX (transcription/export)-NP complex exerts a dual effect on regulating polymerase activity and replication of influenza A virus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Influenza A viruses effectively hijack the intracellular "resources" to complete transcription and replication, which involve extensive interactions between the viral and host proteins. Herein, we screened the host factors, which belong to DExD/H-box protein family members, RNA-binding proteins or mitochondrial anchoring proteins, to investigate their effects on polymerase activity. We observed DDX39B and DDX39A, DEAD-box RNA-Helicases, exert a dual effect on regulating polymerase activity and replication of influenza A viruses. We further revealed that DDX39B and DDX39A interact with viral NP and NS1 proteins. Interestingly, the viral NP proteins could reverse the inhibitory effect of excess DDX39B or DDX39A on polymerase activity. Mechanistically, the TREX complex subunits, THOC1, THOC4 and CIP29, were recruited to DDX39B-DDX39A-NP complex in an ATP-dependent manner, via the interaction with DDX39B or DDX39A, followed by excess TREX-NP complexes interfere with the normal oligomerization state of NP depending on the ratio between the viral and host proteins. On the other hand, the TREX complex, an evolutionarily conserved protein complex, is responsible for the integration of several mRNA processing steps to export viral mRNA. Knockdown of TREX complex subunits significantly down-regulated viral titers and protein levels, accompanied by retention of viral mRNA in the nucleus. Taken together, screening the host factors that regulate the replication of influenza virus advances our understanding of viral pathogenesis and our findings point out a previously unclear mechanism of TREX complex function.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)
Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedLabeled directly by 2 models reading the full record.
