Identification of a novel biological role of arenavirus NP exonuclease (exoN) activity in a safe Pichinde virus model
2025-09-09
Abstract excerpt
Arenaviruses such as Lassa virus (LASV) and Junin virus (JUNV) can cause lethal hemorrhagic fever diseases with no FDA-approved vaccines or effective therapeutics. The arenaviral nucleoprotein (NP) contains an exoribonuclease (exoN) domain that suppresses type I interferon (IFN-I) production by degrading pathogen-associated molecular-pattern (PAMP) RNAs. The biological roles of NP exoN during viral infection have...
