NUDT2 initiates viral RNA degradation by removal of 5′-phosphates

RNA of some viruses is protected from degradation by a 5′ triphosphate group. Here the authors identify nudix hydrolase 2 (NUDT2) as novel antiviral defense protein that dephosphorylates viral RNA and thereby enables its degradation.
