War on Viruses: LC3 Recruits GTPases

Interferon effector functions and autophagy are evolutionarily conserved arms of cell-autonomous immunity that restrict replication of intracellular pathogens. In this issue of Cell Host and Microbe, Biering et al., (2017) demonstrate how host cells co-opt sequential action of autophagy proteins and IFN-inducible GTPases to inhibit replication of positive-sense RNA viruses.
