The influence of viral RNA secondary structure on interactions with innate host cell defences [PDF]
, 2013 RNA viruses infecting vertebrates differ fundamentally in their ability to establish persistent infections with markedly different patterns of transmission, disease mechanisms and evolutionary relationships with their hosts.

Perspectives on Viral RNA Genomes and the RNA Folding Problem
Viruses, 2020 Viral RNA genomes change shape as virus particles disassemble, form replication complexes, attach to ribosomes for translation, evade host defense mechanisms, and assemble new virus particles.

Molecular basis of specific viral RNA recognition and 5′-end capping by the Chikungunya virus nsP1
Cell Reports, 2022 Summary: Many viruses encode RNA-modifying enzymes to edit the 5′ end of viral RNA to mimic the cellular mRNA for effective protein translation, genome replication, and evasion of the host defense mechanisms.

The NS3 protein of rice hoja blanca virus suppresses RNA silencing in mammalian cells [PDF]
, 2008 The NS3 protein of the tenuivirus rice hoja blanca virus (RHBV) has previously been shown to represent the viral RNA interference (RNAi) suppressor and is active in both plant and insect cells by binding short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in vitro.

Generation and characterization of a recombinant Rift Valley fever virus expressing a V5 epitope-tagged RNA-dependent RNA polymerase [PDF]
, 2011 The viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp; L protein) of Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV; family Bunyaviridae) is a 238 kDa protein that is crucial for the life cycle of the virus, as it catalyses both transcription of viral mRNAs and replication of the

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 ...

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

An improved method for surface immobilisation of RNA: application to small Non-Coding RNA - mRNA pairing [PDF]
, 2013 Characterisation of RNA and its intermolecular interactions is increasing in importance as the inventory of known RNA functions continues to expand. RNA-RNA interactions are central to post-transcriptional gene regulation mechanisms in bacteria, and the ...

Novel endoribonucleases as central players in various pathways of eukaryotic RNA metabolism [PDF]
, 2010 For a long time it has been assumed that the decay of RNA in eukaryotes is mainly carried out by exoribonucleases, which is in contrast to bacteria, where endoribonucleases are well documented to initiate RNA degradation.

RNA Silencing and Plant Viral Diseases
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2012 RNA silencing plays a critical role in plant resistance against viruses, with multiple silencing factors participating in antiviral defense. Both RNA and DNA viruses are targeted by the small RNA-directed RNA degradation pathway, with DNA viruses being ...
