Abstract excerpt
The exploitation of cellular functions and host proteins is an essential part of viral replication. The study of this interplay has provided significant insight into host cell processes in addition to advancing the understanding of the viral life-cycle. Poliovirus utilizes a multifunctional cellular protein, poly(C) binding protein 2 (PCBP2), for RNA stability, translation and RNA replication. In its cellular...
