Abstract excerpt
The function of the mammalian orthoreovirus (reovirus) σNS nonstructural protein is enigmatic. σNS is an RNA-binding protein that forms oligomers and enhances the stability of bound RNAs, but the mechanisms by which it contributes to reovirus replication are unknown. To determine the function of σNS-RNA binding in reovirus replication, we engineered σNS mutants deficient in RNA-binding capacity. We found that...
