Hiding in Plain Sight: Formation and Function of Stress Granules During Microbial Infection of Mammalian Cells

Stress granule (SG) formation is a host cell response to stress-induced translational repression. SGs assemble with RNA-binding proteins and translationally silent mRNA. SGs have been demonstrated to be both inhibitory to viruses, as well as being subverted for viral roles. In contrast, the function...
