A ΩX a V motif in the Rift Valley fever virus NSs protein is essential for degrading p62, forming nuclear filaments and virulence
27 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a single-stranded RNA virus capable of inducing fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans. A key component of RVFV virulence is its ability to form nuclear filaments through interactions between the viral nonstructural protein NSs and the host general transcription factor TFIIH. Here, we identify an interaction between a ΩXaV motif in NSs and the p62 subunit of TFIIH. This motif in NSs...
