Dcp1a is a target for other viruses that mediate PB disassembly; for example, infection with poliovirus caused PB disassembly and the loss of Dcp1a over a time course of infection [107] and adenovirus infection has been shown to re-localize Pat1b from PBs to cytoplasmic aggresomes during infection [108]. Here, DCP1A is linked to infection.
