Study explores the interaction between SARS-CoV-2’s non-structural protein 3 (NSP3) and proteins related to Fragile X mental retardation (FMRPs), shedding light on COVID-19 pathophysiology. The research suggests that the virus exploits these host cell proteins for effective infection and possibly interferes with antiviral defense mechanisms, offering new insights into the genetic basis of Fragile X syndrome.
