Cooperativity between the 3’ untranslated region microRNA binding sites is critical for the virulence of eastern equine encephalitis virus
2019-05-26
Abstract excerpt
Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), a mosquito-borne RNA virus, is one of the most acutely virulent viruses endemic to the Americas, causing between 30% and 70% mortality in symptomatic human cases. A major factor in the virulence of EEEV is the presence of four binding sites for the hematopoietic cell-specific microRNA, miR-142-3p, in the 3’ untranslated region (3’ UTR) of the virus. Three of the sites are...
