Abstract excerpt
Sindbis virus nonstructural protein 2 (SINV nsP2) is an important determinant of virus pathogenesis and downregulation of virus-induced cell response. This protein efficiently inhibits transcription of cellular messenger and ribosomal RNAs and, thus, is capable of inhibiting the activation of genes whose products are involved in development of the antiviral response. Alphavirus nsP2 has a number of predicted...
