Insect-borne flaviviruses produce a 300-500 base long noncoding RNA, termed sfRNA, by stalling the cellular 5’-3’ exoribonuclease XRN1 via structures located in their 3’ untranslated regions. In this study we demonstrate that the production of sfRNAs by Zika virus results in the repression of XRN1 ...
