At the crossroads of immunity and hijacking: dual roles of DDX proteins during host–virus interactions

The DEAD-box (DDX) protein family, constituting a critical subgroup of the Superfamily 2 (SF2) helicase family, plays extensive roles in nucleic acid metabolism, gene expression regulation and innate immune signaling, and exerts a key regulatory role during viral infection. During viral infection, DDX proteins function...
