GAMMAHERPESVIRAL GENE EXPRESSION AND VIRION COMPOSITION ARE BROADLY CONTROLLED BY ACCELERATED MRNA DEGRADATION.

Gammaherpesviral gene expression and virion composition are broadly controlled by accelerated mRNA degradation.

Lytic gammaherpesvirus infection restricts host gene expression by promoting widespread degradation of cytoplasmic mRNA through the activity of the viral endonuclease SOX.Though generally assumed to be selective for cellular transcripts, the extent to which SOX impacts viral mRNA stability has remained unknown.We addressed this issue using the mode

Profilin is required for viral morphogenesis, syncytium formation, and cell-specific stress fiber induction by respiratory syncytial virus

Abstract Background Actin is required for the gene expression and morphogenesis of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a clinically important Pneumovirus of the Paramyxoviridae family.In HEp-2 cells, dea eyewear RSV infection also induces actin stress fibers, which may be important in the immunopathology of the RSV disease.Profilin, a major regulato
