Cytomegalovirus microRNAs Facilitate Persistent Virus Infection in Salivary Glands
14 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
Micro (mi)RNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of their targets' messenger RNAs through both translational inhibition and regulation of target RNA stability. Recently, a number of viruses, particularly of the herpesvirus family, have been shown to express their own miRNAs to control both viral and cellular transcripts. Although some targets of viral miRNAs are known, their function in a...
