Differential RNA silencing suppression activity of NS1 proteins from different influenza A virus strains
10 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
The NS1 gene of influenza A virus encodes a multi-functional protein that plays an important role in counteracting cellular antiviral mechanisms such as the interferon (IFN), protein kinase R and retinoic acid-inducible gene product I pathways. In addition, NS1 has recently been shown to have RNA interference (RNAi) or RNA silencing suppression (RSS) activity. This study analysed the IFN antagonistic activity of...
