Journal ArticleDOI

Disruption of innate immunity due to mitochondrial targeting of a picornaviral protease precursor

TL;DR: It is shown that hepatitis A virus ablates type 1 IFN responses by targeting the 3ABC precursor of its 3Cpro cysteine protease to mitochondria where it colocalizes with and cleaves MAVS, thereby disrupting activation of IRF3 through the MDA5 pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence requirements for viral RNA replication and VPg uridylylation directed by the internal cis-acting replication element (cre) of human rhinovirus type 14

TL;DR: A direct, positive correlation between the capacity of mutated cres to support RNA replication and their ability to function as template in an in vitro VPg uridylylation reaction is found, suggesting that these functions are intimately linked.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic evidence for an interaction between a picornaviral cis-acting RNA replication element and 3CD protein.

TL;DR: It is shown that the poliovirus cre is unable to support HRV-14 RNA replication, and a model in which 3CD or its derivatives 3Cpro and 3Dpol interact directly with the stem of the cre during uridylylation of VPg is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

A chimeric GB virus B with 5′ nontranslated RNA sequence from hepatitis C virus causes hepatitis in tamarins†

TL;DR: Novel chimeric flaviviruses offer opportunities for new insights into HCV replication mechanisms, while potentially facilitating the evaluation of candidate therapeutics in vivo, and appears to contain virus‐specific replication signals that interact with other sites within the viral genome or with viral proteins.
