Next generation sequencing for studying viruses and RNA silencing-based antiviral defense in crop plants [PDF]
The main objectives of this work have been to use next generation sequencing (NGS) and develop bioinformatics tools for plant virus diagnostics and genome reconstruction as well as for investigation of RNA silencing-based antiviral defense.

Virus-derived DNA drives mosquito vector tolerance to arboviral infection
Mosquitoes tolerate long-lasting viral infections, which makes them efficient vectors for human viral diseases. Here, the authors show that the tolerance of Aedesmosquitoes to infection with dengue or chikungunya viruses depends on the production of ...

Coalescence of the sites of cowpea mosaic virus RNA replication into a cytopathic structure [PDF]
Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) replication induces an extensive proliferation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes, leading to the formation of small membranous vesicles where viral RNA replication takes place.

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

Diverging affinity of tospovirus RNA silencing suppressor proteins, NSs, for various RNA duplex molecules [PDF]
The tospovirus NSs protein was previously shown to suppress the antiviral RNA silencing mechanism in plants. Here the biochemical analysis of NSs proteins from different tospoviruses, using purified NSs or NSs containing cell extracts, is described.

Staufen1 Protein Participates Positively in the Viral RNA Replication of Enterovirus 71
The double-stranded RNA-binding protein Staufen1 (Stau1) has multiple functions during RNA virus infection. In this study, we investigated the role of Stau1 in viral translation by using a combination of enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) infection, RNA reporter ...

All About the RNA: Interferon-Stimulated Genes That Interfere With Viral RNA Processes
Interferon (IFN) signaling induces the expression of a wide array of genes, collectively referred to as IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) that generally function to inhibit viral replication.
