Relationship between viral RNA and viral protein synthesis

Virology, 1962
Abstract Low concentrations of p-fluorophenylalanine (5–10 μg/ml) inhibit the maturation of Western equine encephalomyelitis and poliomyelitis viruses. Much higher concentrations are required (125 μg/ml) to inhibit the synthesis of the respective infectious RNA. By means of fluorescent antibodies against poliovirus, it was found that the formation of

Viral RNA gymnastics

Nature Chemical Biology, 2005
Retroviruses have a stretch of RNA that dimerizes during viral particle formation. A new study suggests that RNA flexibility in the monomeric form may facilitate dimerization or other RNA-dependent viral functions.

Viral suppressors of RNA silencing

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2001
The suppression of RNA silencing by plant viruses represents a viral adaptation to a novel host antiviral defense. Three types of viral suppressors have been identified through the use of a variety of silencing suppression assays. The first two types of suppressor are capable of a complete or partial reversal of pre-existing RNA silencing; the third ...

Double-Stranded Viral RNA

1969
Publisher Summary The pace of research on RNA virus replication and the huge amount of related literature that has accumulated in the past 6 years attest to the wide interest in the topic. There has also been some controversy and apparent confusion, probably largely because of pressure for publication priority. In this chapter, methods for detecting,

Viral suppressors of RNA silencing

Trends in Plant Science, 2011
The infection and replication of viruses in the host induce diverse mechanisms for combating viral infection. One of the best-studied antiviral defence mechanisms is based on RNA silencing. Consistently, several viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) have been identified from almost all plant virus genera, which are surprisingly diverse within and ...

Viral vector-mediated RNA interference

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2010
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful gene silencing mechanism that if properly harnessed has the potential to revolutionize medical interventions. Delivery of inhibitory RNAs to target tissues needs to be safe, efficient, and for many diseases, long-lasting, in order to exploit this endogenous mechanism for therapeutic purposes.

Viral RNA Synthesis

2014
This chapter summarizes what is known about how a single viral RNA molecule can be selectively amplified into thousands of RNA progeny in infected cells. It specifically provides the roles of viral proteins and RNA sequences in RNA replication, and describes the kinetics and products of RNA replication in infected cells. Next, it explains the sites and

Structural organization of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases

Biochemistry (Moscow), 2013
This review describes available data on the structure of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRP) obtained from X-ray analysis and discusses the functional significance of the structural elements of these enzymes. Because most of the studies done to date relate to RdRP structures of picorna-, flavi-, and caliciviruses, here we consider mostly the ...

RNA interference – small RNAs effectively fight viral hepatitis

Liver International, 2004
Abstract: RNA interference (RNAi) is the process of sequence‐specific gene silencing, initiated by double‐stranded RNA that is homologous in sequence to the target gene. This unique phenomenon has been extensively investigated during the last few years not only in the context of its mechanism and its possible role in the regulation of gene expression ...

Viral RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerases: A Structural Overview

2018
Most emerging and re-emerging human and animal viral diseases are associated with RNA viruses. All these pathogens, with the exception of retroviruses, encode a specialized enzyme called RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP), which catalyze phosphodiester-bond formation between ribonucleotides (NTPs) in an RNA template-dependent manner.
