LY6E mediates an evolutionarily conserved enhancement of virus infection by targeting a late entry step

The interferon-induced gene LY6E increases virus infection, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Here, Mar et al. show that LY6E enhances uncoating of influenza A virus after endosomal escape and that viral enhancement by LY6E is conserved across evolution.
