The 7a Accessory Protein of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Acts as an RNA Silencing Suppressor
15 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
RNA silencing suppressors (RSSs) are well studied for plant viruses but are not well defined to date for animal viruses. Here, we have identified an RSS from a medically important positive-sense mammalian virus, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. The viral 7a accessory protein suppressed both transgene and virus-induced gene silencing by reducing the levels of small interfering RNA (siRNA). The...
