Abstract excerpt
The virion host shutoff (VHS) RNase tegument protein released into cells by infecting virus has two effects. Preexisting stable mRNAs (e.g., GAPDH [glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase]) are rapidly degraded. Stress response RNAs containing AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) are deadenylated and cleaved, but the cleavage products persist for hours, in contrast to the short...
