mBio, 2021 Viral infections have a large impact on society, leading to major human and economic losses and even global instability. So far, many viral infections, including human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, are treated with a small repertoire of drugs, often ...

RNA Interference for Viral Infections [PDF]
Current Drug Targets, 2012 The treatment of viral infections has relied on pre-emptive vaccination or use of a limited range of anti-viral drugs. However, the majority of viruses have no available drugs and treatment is merely supportive. RNA interference (RNAi) offers the ability to directly and rapidly treat virus infections via the targeting of viral genes.

A discontinuous RNA platform mediates RNA virus replication: building an integrated model for RNA-based regulation of viral processes. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 Plus-strand RNA viruses contain RNA elements within their genomes that mediate a variety of fundamental viral processes. The traditional view of these elements is that of local RNA structures.

Viral suppression of RNA silencing [PDF]
Science China Life Sciences, 2012 يلعب إسكات الجينات (إسكات الحمض النووي الريبي) دورًا أساسيًا في الدفاع المضاد للفيروسات في النباتات والفطريات واللافقاريات. تقوم الفيروسات بتشفير البروتينات التي تمنع إسكات الجينات لمواجهة دفاع المضيف. تم تحديد المثبطات الفيروسية لإسكات الحمض النووي الريبي (RSVs) من جميع الفيروسات النباتية تقريبًا التي تولد وبعض فيروسات الحشرات والثدييات. كشفت الدراسات

Poly(rC)-Binding Protein 1 Limits Hepatitis C Virus Virion Assembly and Secretion
Viruses, 2022 The hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-opts numerous cellular elements, including proteins, lipids, and microRNAs, to complete its viral life cycle. The cellular RNA-binding protein, poly(rC)-binding protein 1 (PCBP1), was previously reported to bind to the 5 ...

Nucleocapsid Structure of Negative Strand RNA Virus
Viruses, 2020 Negative strand RNA viruses (NSVs) include many important human pathogens, such as influenza virus, Ebola virus, and rabies virus. One of the unique characteristics that NSVs share is the assembly of the nucleocapsid and its role in viral RNA synthesis ...

Regulation of RNA Virus Processes by Viral Genome Structure
Proceedings, 2020 The genomes of RNA viruses contain a variety of RNA sequences and structures that regulate different steps in virus reproduction. Events that are controlled by RNA elements include (i) the translation of viral proteins, (ii) the replication of viral RNA ...

Novel ATP-independent RNA annealing activity of the dengue virus NS3 helicase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The flavivirus nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) bears multiple enzymatic activities and represents an attractive target for antiviral intervention. NS3 contains the viral serine protease at the N-terminus and ATPase, RTPase, and helicase activities at the C-

Uirusu, 2009 Many lines of recent evidence indicate that non-coding RNAs including micro RNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) play an important role in the control of gene expression in diverse cellular processes and in defense responses against molecular parasites such as viruses and transposons.
