Dengue virus co-opts UBR4 to degrade STAT2 and antagonize type I interferon signaling.

An estimated 50 million dengue virus (DENV) infections occur annually and more than forty percent of the human population is currently at risk of developing dengue fever (DF) or dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Despite the prevalence and potential severity of DF and DHF, there are no approved vaccine...
