Genomic RNA Editing and Its Impact on Ebola Virus Adaptation During Serial Passages in Cell Culture and Infection of Guinea Pigs
10 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Synthesis of the structural, surface glycoprotein (GP) of Ebola virus (EBOV) is dependent on transcriptional RNA editing phenomenon. Editing results in the insertion of an extra adenosine by viral polymerase at the editing site (7 consecutive template uridines) during transcription of GP gene of the wild-type virus (EBOV/7U). In this study, we demonstrate that passage of EBOV/7U in Vero E6 cells results in the...
