A publication particularly worth reading

The publication by Eva Böttcher-Friebertshäuser and her team on the front cover of the Journal of Biological Chemistry

On The Cover: The influenza virus glycoprotein hemagglutinin must be cleaved by host proteases to mediate fusion of viral and endosomal membranes, a prerequisite for virus replication. Harbig et al. investigated the trypsin-like serine protease repertoire of the lower airways of mice by RNA sequencing and used synthetic protease inhibitors like the shown benzylsulfonyl-D-Arg-Gly-4-amidinobenzylamide to identify appropriate influenza A and B virus–activating proteases. For details see the article by Harbig et al., pages 11388–11407.
