Dissecting the Roles of the 5′ Exoribonucleases Xrn1 and Xrn2 in Restricting Hepatitis C Virus Replication
12 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is uniquely dependent on a host microRNA, miR-122. Previous studies using genotype 1a H77S.3 virus demonstrated that miR-122 acts in part by protecting the RNA genome from 5' decay mediated by the cytoplasmic 5' exoribonuclease, Xrn1. However, this finding has been challenged by a recent report suggesting that a predominantly nuclear exoribonuclease, Xrn2,...
