Genistein is effective in inhibiting Orf virus infection in vitro by targeting viral RNA polymerase subunit RPO30 protein
8 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Orf virus (ORFV), a typical member of the genus Parapoxvirus, Poxvirus family, causes a contagious pustular dermatitis in sheep, goats, and humans. Poxviruses encode a multisubunit DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (vRNAP) that carries out viral gene expression in the host cytoplasm, which is a viral factor essential to poxvirus replication. Due to its vital role in viral life, vRNAP has emerged as one of the...
