Infection initiated by the RNA pregenome of a DNA virus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1991
We describe experiments demonstrating that after transfection into permissive cells, the RNA pregenome of an avian hepadnavirus, the duck hepatitis B virus, is infectious. Using a Sindbis virus expression vector, we showed that cytoplasmic synthesis of the pregenome resulted in hepadnaviral DNA synthesis.

Ribosomal control in RNA virus-infected cells

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Viruses are strictly intracellular parasites requiring host cellular functions to complete their reproduction cycle involving virus infection of host cell, viral genome replication, viral protein translation, and virion release. Ribosomes are protein synthesis factories in cells, and viruses need to manipulate ribosomes to complete their protein ...

Viral suppressors from members of the family Closteroviridae combating antiviral RNA silencing: a tale of a sophisticated arms race in host-pathogen interactions

Phytopathology Research, 2021
RNA silencing is an evolutionarily homology-based gene inactivation mechanism and plays critical roles in plant immune responses to acute or chronic virus infections, which often pose serious threats to agricultural productions.

Discovery and Community Dynamics of Novel ssRNA Mycoviruses in the Conifer Pathogen Heterobasidion parviporum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Heterobasidion species are highly destructive basidiomycetous conifer pathogens of the Boreal forest region. Earlier studies have revealed dsRNA virus infections of families Curvulaviridae and Partitiviridae in Heterobasidion strains, and small RNA deep ...

Dual Effect of Organogermanium Compound THGP on RIG-I-Mediated Viral Sensing and Viral Replication during Influenza a Virus Infection

Viruses, 2021
The interaction of viral nucleic acid with protein factors is a crucial process for initiating viral polymerase-mediated viral genome replication while activating pattern recognition receptor (PRR)-mediated innate immune responses. It has previously been

Virus-host protein-protein interactions as molecular drug targets for arboviral infections

Frontiers in Virology, 2022
Arboviruses have the potential to spread quickly and cause a global health emergency. These are RNA viruses that use RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) for their replication. RdRp lacks proofreading activity, leading to high error rates, low replicative

Immune responses to RNA virus infections of the CNS [PDF]

BMC Proceedings, 2003
A successful outcome for the host of virus infection of the central nervous system (CNS) requires the elimination of the virus without damage to essential non-renewable cells, such as neurons. As a result, inflammatory responses must be tightly controlled, and many unique mechanisms seem to contribute to this control.

RNA Virus Gene Signatures Detected in Patients With Cardiomyopathy After Chemotherapy; A Pilot Study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundViral infections are pervasive and leading causes of myocarditis. Immune-suppression after chemotherapy increases opportunistic infections, but the incidence of virus-induced myocarditis is unknown.ObjectiveAn unbiased, blinded screening for ...

Use of Unamplified RNA/cDNA–Hybrid Nanopore Sequencing for Rapid Detection and Characterization of RNA Viruses

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Nanopore sequencing, a novel genomics technology, has potential applications for routine biosurveillance, clinical diagnosis, and outbreak investigation of virus infections. Using rapid sequencing of unamplified RNA/cDNA hybrids, we identified Venezuelan
