Viruses can express intron-containing and intronless mRNAs, which are exported by alternative pathways. The study of the nuclear export of these unconventional mRNAs can provide key insights into the normal process of nuclear export and the alternative pathways provide an attractive target for the development of specific antiviral therapies.

RNA-binding protein CPEB1 remodels host and viral RNA landscapes. [PDF]
Host and virus interactions occurring at the post-transcriptional level are critical for infection but remain poorly understood. Here, we performed comprehensive transcriptome-wide analyses revealing that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection results in

Dimerisation of HIV-2 genomic RNA is linked to efficient RNA packaging, normal particle maturation and viral infectivity. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Retroviruses selectively encapsidate two copies of their genomic RNA, the Gag protein binding a specific RNA motif in the 5' UTR of the genome.

Viral Genome Segmentation Can Result from a Trade-Off between Genetic Content and Particle Stability [PDF]
The evolutionary benefit of viral genome segmentation is a classical, yet unsolved question in evolutionary biology and RNA genetics. Theoretical studies anticipated that replication of shorter RNA segments could provide a replicative advantage over ...

The advent of reverse genetic approaches to manipulate the genomes of both positive (+) and negative (-) sense RNA viruses allowed researchers to harness these genomes for basic research. Manipulation of positive sense RNA virus genomes occurred first largely because infectious RNA could be transcribed directly from cDNA versions of the RNA genomes ...

Genome organization and interaction with capsid protein in a multipartite RNA virus. [PDF]
We report the asymmetric reconstruction of the single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) content in one of the three otherwise identical virions of a multipartite RNA virus, brome mosaic virus (BMV).

The effect of RNA stiffness on the self-assembly of virus particles [PDF]
Under many in vitro conditions, some small viruses spontaneously encapsidate a single stranded (ss) RNA into a protein shell called the capsid. While viral RNAs are found to be compact and highly branched because of long distance base-pairing between ...

Completion of RNA synthesis by viral RNA replicases [PDF]
How the 5'-terminus of the template affects RNA synthesis by viral RNA replicases is poorly understood. Using short DNA, RNA and RNA-DNA chimeric templates that can direct synthesis of replicase products, we found that DNA templates tend to direct the synthesis of RNA products that are shorter by 1 nt in comparison to RNA templates. Template-length RNA

In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

Isolation of poliovirus 2C mutants defective in viral RNA synthesis [PDF]
Two poliovirus mutants were isolated that contain an oligonucleotide linker insertion in the 2C-coding region of the viral genome. One, 2C-31, has a strongly temperature-sensitive phenotype and the other, 2C-32, forms small plaques on HeLa cell ...
