Mapping of RNA- temperature-sensitive mutants of Sindbis virus: assignment of complementation groups A, B, and G to nonstructural proteins [PDF]
Four complementation groups of temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of Sindbis virus that fail to make RNA at the nonpermissive temperature are known, and we have previously shown that group F mutants have defects in nsP4.

The growth of arthralgic Ross River virus is restricted in human monocytic cells [PDF]
International audienceAlphaviruses such as Chikungunya and Ross River (RRV) viruses are associated with persistent arthritisand arthralgia in humans. Monocytes and macrophages are believed to play an important role in alphaviralarthritides. In this study,

ABSTRACT In the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic, awareness of emerging pathogens has significantly increased, prompting greater investment in research and preparedness. In this context, arboviral diseases are recognized as unmet medical challenges due to their rapid spread. Notably, the geographical range of several flaviviral diseases is expanding: Zika

The Role of the Deubiquitylase UCHL3 During Alphavirus Infection [PDF]
Alphaviruses are positive-sense RNA viruses from the family Togaviridae. These viruses rely on arthropod vectors, such as mosquitos, to replicate before transmission to vertebrates. There are several medically important viruses in this group, including Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) which, since 2004, has caused large number of epidemics that have infected ...

Diversity in viral anti-PKR mechanisms: A remarkable case of evolutionary convergence [PDF]
Most viruses express during infection products that prevent or neutralize the effect of the host dsRNA activated protein kinase (PKR). Translation of Sindbis virus (SINV) mRNA escapes to PKR activation and eIF2 phosphorylation in infected cells by a ...

The Role of the Deubiquitylase MYSM1 During Alphavirus Infection [PDF]
The Role of the Deubiquitylase MYSM1 During Alphavirus Infection Amer Nubgan The members of the genus Alphavirus are positive-sense RNA viruses and it is one of two within the family Togaviridae. Most alphaviruses are predominantly transmitted to susceptible vertebrates by a mosquito vector.

A Viral mRNA Motif at the 3′-Untranslated Region that Confers Translatability in a Cell-Specific Manner. Implications for Virus Evolution [PDF]
Sindbis virus (SINV) mRNAs contain several motifs that participate in the regulation of their translation. We have discovered a motif at the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of viral mRNAs, constituted by three repeated sequences, which is involved in the ...
