SFTSV NSs interacts with AGO2 to regulate the RNAi pathway for viral replication
27 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT RNA interference (RNAi) is a posttranscriptional gene silencing mechanism acting as an antiviral defense in eukaryotes. During viral replication, intermediate double-stranded RNAs are processed into virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) by the host enzyme, DICER. These vsiRNAs are incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), where AGO2 cleaves viral genomic RNAs. However, viruses...
