In situ structures of the segmented genome and RNA polymerase complex inside a dsRNA virus. [PDF]
Viruses in the Reoviridae, like the triple-shelled human rotavirus and the single-shelled insect cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV), all package a genome of segmented double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) inside the viral capsid and carry out endogenous ...

In vivo analysis of NHPX reveals a novel nucleolar localization pathway involving a transient accumulation in splicing speckles [PDF]
The NHPX protein is a nucleolar factor that binds directly to a conserved RNA target sequence found in nucleolar box C/D snoRNAs and in U4 snRNA. Using enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP)– and enhanced cyan fluorescent protein–NHPX fusions, we ...

Global phylogenetic analysis of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase with OrViT (OrthornaVirae Tree)
Viruses of the kingdom Orthornavirae are the causative agents of many diseases in humans, animals and plants and play an important role in the ecology of the biosphere.

Hepatitis C quasispecies adaptation in the setting of a variable fidelity polymerase [PDF]
Hepatitis C (HCV) is a virus characterized by an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that lacks a proofreading mechanism and, as a result, generates a quasispecies.

Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

Glutathionylation of dengue and Zika NS5 proteins affects guanylyltransferase and RNA dependent RNA polymerase activities. [PDF]
It has been estimated for dengue infection that the global population at risk is 3.5 billion people, which makes dengue an important public health problem. The causative agents of dengue are dengue viruses.

Inhibition of dengue virus replication by novel inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and protease activities [PDF]
Dengue virus (DENV) is the leading mosquito-transmitted viral infection in the world. With more than 390 million new infections annually, and up to 1 million clinical cases with severe disease manifestations, there continues to be a need to develop new ...

Structure-Function Relationships Among RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerases [PDF]
RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRPs) play key roles in viral transcription and genome replication, as well as epigenetic and post-transcriptional control of cellular gene expression. In this article, we review the crystallographic, biochemical, and molecular genetic data available for viral RdRPs that have led to a detailed description of substrate ...
