The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $229,714 on April 13, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to support innovative research investigating RNA ribosylation's role in viral RNA biology and innate immunity. The project, with a completion date of March 31, 2028, will advance scientific understanding of how post-transcriptional RNA modifications affect viral replication and host immune responses. The research specifically examines ADP-ribosylation (ADPR) modifications catalyzed by poly ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs) on both viral and host RNA, with particular focus on Chikungunya virus infection and the role of zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) in antiviral defense mechanisms. This R21 exploratory research award will deliver fundamental scientific knowledge regarding the functional importance of RNA ribosylation in virus-host interactions, including characterization of how ribosylated RNA affects viral translation efficiency, RNA stability, and innate immune sensing. The deliverables will contribute to broader understanding of RNA modification biology with direct applications to improving antiviral therapeutic strategies and understanding mechanisms of innate immune defense against emerging viral threats.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
