Uncovering targets of the Leader protease: Linking RNA ‐mediated pathways and antiviral defense
18 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
RNA viruses have developed specialized mechanisms to subvert host RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) favoring their own gene expression. The Leader (L) protein of foot-and-mouth disease virus, a member of the Picornaviridae family, is a papain-like cysteine protease that self-cleaves from the polyprotein. Early in infection, the L protease cleaves the translation initiation factors eIF4GI and eIF4GII, inducing the...
