Specific Residues in the C-Terminal Domain of the Human Metapneumovirus Phosphoprotein Are Indispensable for Formation of Viral Replication Centers and Regulation of the Function of the Viral Polymerase Complex

Abstract excerpt

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infects global populations, with severe respiratory tract infections occurring in infants, the elderly, and the immunocompromised. There are currently no FDA-approved therapeutics available to prevent or treat HMPV infection. Therefore, understanding how HMPV replicates is vital for the identification of novel targets for therapeutic development. During HMPV infection, viral RNA...
