Autogenous Translational Regulation of the Borna Disease Virus Negative Control Factor X from Polycistronic mRNA Using Host RNA Helicases
5 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Borna disease virus (BDV) is a nonsegmented, negative-strand RNA virus that employs several unique strategies for gene expression. The shortest transcript of BDV, X/P mRNA, encodes at least three open reading frames (ORFs): upstream ORF (uORF), X, and P in the 5' to 3' direction. The X is a negative regulator of viral polymerase activity, while the P phosphoprotein is a necessary cofactor of the polymerase...
