The Polypyrimidine Tract-binding Protein Is Required for Efficient Dengue Virus Propagation and Associates with the Viral Replication Machinery
21 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
The polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB) functions primarily as an IRES trans-acting factor in the propagation of hepatitis C virus and picornaviruses. PTB interacts with secondary structures within the 3'- and 5'-untranslated regions of these viral genomes to mediate efficient IRES-mediated viral translation. PTB has also been reported to bind to the untranslated region of the single-stranded RNA dengue...
