Abstract excerpt
Adenoviruses use the short noncoding RNA transcript virus-associated (VA) RNA(I) to counteract two critical elements of the host cell defense system, innate cellular immunity and RNA interference, mediated by the double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) and Dicer/RNA-induced silencing complex, respectively. We progressively shortened the VA RNA(I) terminal stem to examine its necessity for inhibition of...
