Sindbis Virus Infection Causes Cell Death by nsP2-Induced Transcriptional Shutoff or by nsP3-Dependent Translational Shutoff
19 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Alphaviruses are a group of important human and animal pathogens with worldwide distribution. Their characteristic feature is a highly cytopathic phenotype in cells of vertebrate origin. The molecular mechanism of CPE remains poorly understood. In this study, by using Sindbis virus (SINV) as a model of the Old World alphaviruses, we demonstrated that SINV-specific CPE is redundantly determined by viral nsP2 and...
