Conservation of a Packaging Signal and the Viral Genome RNA Packaging Mechanism in Alphavirus Evolution
17 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Alphaviruses are a group of small, enveloped viruses which are widely distributed on all continents. In infected cells, alphaviruses display remarkable specificity in RNA packaging by encapsidating only their genomic RNA while avoiding packaging of the more abundant viral subgenomic (SG), cellular messenger and transfer RNAs into released virions. In this work, we demonstrate that in spite of evolution in...
