IGF2BP1 and infection: The binding of IGF2BP1 to EBOV RNA was shown by Zhang et al. and Fang et al. However, while Zhang et al. did not observe an impact of IGF2BP1 knockdown on EBOV RNA levels, Fang et al. reported a significant reduction in infection rates after knocking down IGF2BP1 independently with two out of three used siRNAs [44,120].
