Activation of influenza virus RNA polymerase by the 5' and 3' terminal duplex of genomic RNA [PDF]
The current model for influenza virus mRNA transcription involves the sequential interaction of the viral polymerase with the 5'- and 3'-ends of vRNA, with each RNA-protein interaction triggering a polymerase function necessary for cap-primed ...

A novel broad-spectrum treatment for respiratory virus infections : influenza-based defective interfering virus provides protection against pneumovirus infection in vivo [PDF]
Respiratory viruses represent a major clinical burden. Few vaccines and antivirals are available, and the rapid appearance of resistant viruses is a cause for concern.

Impaired antibody response causes persistence of prototypic T cell-contained virus [PDF]
CD8 T cells are recognized key players in control of persistent virus infections, but increasing evidence suggests that assistance from other immune mediators is also needed. Here, we investigated whether specific antibody responses contribute to control

Cell-free (RNA) and cell-associated (DNA) HIV-1 and postnatal transmission through breastfeeding [PDF]
<p>Introduction - Transmission through breastfeeding remains important for mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) in resource-limited settings. We quantify the relationship between cell-free (RNA) and cell-associated (DNA) shedding of HIV-1 virus in ...

While macrophage is one of the major type I interferon (IFN-I) producers in multiple tissues during viral infections, it also serves as an important target cell for many RNA viruses. However, the regulatory mechanism for the IFN-I response of macrophages

Influenza Virus RNA Synthesis and the Innate Immune Response
Infection with influenza A and B viruses results in a mild to severe respiratory tract infection. It is widely accepted that many factors affect the severity of influenza disease, including viral replication, host adaptation, innate immune signalling ...

The influence of viral RNA secondary structure on interactions with innate host cell defences [PDF]
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.

Histone demethylase LSD1 restricts influenza A virus infection by erasing IFITM3-K88 monomethylation. [PDF]
The histone demethylase LSD1 has been known as a key transcriptional coactivator for DNA viruses such as herpes virus. Inhibition of LSD1 was found to block viral genome transcription and lytic replication of DNA viruses.

In recent years, the function of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) as regulatory molecules of cell physiology has begun to be better understood. Advances in viral molecular biology have shown that host ncRNAs, cellular factors, and virus-derived ncRNAs and their ...

Mechanisms of resistance to viruses
Resistance associated with a hypersensitive response (HR) and subsequent development of necrotic lesions (cell death) at the sites of virus infection can restrict virus movement in plants. Genes for HR are dominant and act on a gene-for-gene basis.
