Comparative analysis of the structure and function of adenovirus virus-associated RNAs
1 Nov 1993
Abstract excerpt
The protein kinase DAI is an important component of the interferon-induced cellular defense mechanism. In cells infected by adenovirus type 2 (Ad2), activation of the kinase is prevented by the synthesis of a small, highly ordered virus-associated (VA) RNA, VA RNAI. The inhibitory function of this RNA depends on its structure, which has been partially elucidated by a combination of mutagenesis and RNase...
