A widespread family of viral sponge proteins reveals specific inhibition of nucleotide signals in anti-phage defense
Chang et al. discover anti-CBASS 4 (Acb4), a family of viral sponges that inhibits
bacterial immunity by sequestering nucleotide immune signals. Acb4 homologs in phages
that infect hosts across all ma...

Had a fantastic time at #ASV2025. Presented some of my work regarding how EBV LMP1 subverts host cell purine metabolism and how LMP1 expressing cells are sensitized to mycophenolic acid, recent published in PLoS Pathogens! journals.plos.org/plospathogen...
