Selective Packaging in Murine Coronavirus Promotes Virulence by Limiting Type I Interferon Responses
1 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Selective packaging is a mechanism used by multiple virus families to specifically incorporate genomic RNA (gRNA) into virions and exclude other types of RNA. Lineage A betacoronaviruses incorporate a 95-bp stem-loop structure, the packaging signal (PS), into the nsp15 locus of ORF1b that is both necessary and sufficient for the packaging of RNAs. However, unlike other viral PSs, where mutations...
