Abstract

Different viruses belonging to distinct viral families, such as enterovirus 71, rely on the host methyltransferase METTL3 for the completion of fundamental cytoplasmic stages of their life cycle. Modulation of the activity of this enzyme could therefore provide a broad-spectrum approach to interfere...
