KIF13A mediates influenza a virus ribonucleoproteins trafficking

Influenza A is a rapid evolving virus, successful in provoking periodic epidemics and occasional pandemics in humans. Viral assembly is complex as the virus incorporates an eight-partite segmented genome of RNA (in the form of viral ribonucleoproteins, vRNPs). Genome assembly, with implications to public health, is not completely understood. It was reported that vRNPs are transported to the cell surface on Rab11 vesicles using microtubules, but...
