RNA interference targets arbovirus replication in Culicoides cells [PDF]
Arboviruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by biting arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks and midges. These viruses replicate in both arthropods and vertebrates and are thus exposed to different antiviral responses in these organisms.

The NS3 protein of rice hoja blanca virus suppresses RNA silencing in mammalian cells [PDF]
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.

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.

Circular RNAs and RNase L in PKR activation and virus infection
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) from back-splicing have been found in every cell and tissue. By binding to miRNAs and proteins or even by encoding small proteins, circRNAs are now emerging as important regulators in modulating transcription, RNA splicing and ...

Generation and characterization of a recombinant Rift Valley fever virus expressing a V5 epitope-tagged RNA-dependent RNA polymerase [PDF]
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

Riboswitching on RNA virus replication [PDF]
Positive-strand RNA viruses direct different virus-specific processes during their infection of host cells. Fundamental events such as viral RNA genome replication are controlled by viral regulatory RNA elements (REs). Here, we have investigated the possibility of specifically modulating the action of a viral RE using RNA aptamer technology.

The influence of CpG and UpA dinucleotide frequencies on RNA virus replication and characterization of the innate cellular pathways underlying virus attenuation and enhanced replication [PDF]
Most RNA viruses infecting mammals and other vertebrates show profound suppression of CpG and UpA dinucleotide frequencies. To investigate this functionally, mutants of the picornavirus, echovirus 7 (E7), were constructed with altered CpG and UpA ...
