Lassa virus NP DEDDh 3′-5′ exoribonuclease activity is required for optimal viral RNA replication and mutation control
2023-04-13
Abstract excerpt
Lassa virus (LASV), a mammarenavirus from Arenaviridae , is the causative agent of Lassa fever (LF) endemic in West Africa. Currently, there are no vaccines or antivirals approved for LF. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRp) of RNA viruses are error-prone. As a negative-sense RNA virus, how LASV copes with errors in RNA synthesis and ensures optimal RNA replication are not well elucidated. LASV nucleoprotein...
