YTHDF1 and Epstein-Barr virus infection: While YTHDF1 primarily promotes the translation efficiency of m6A-modified mRNAs, the authors showed that YTHDF1 degrades m6A-modified viral transcripts in EBV-infected cells by the recruitment of ZAP, DDX17, and DCP2, which induces RNA uncapping during EBV infection of host cells.
