A hidden gene in astroviruses encodes a cell-permeabilizing protein involved in virus release

2019-06-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Human astroviruses are small nonenveloped viruses with positive-sense single-stranded RNA genomes that contain three main open reading frames: ORF1a, ORF1b and ORF2. Astroviruses cause acute gastroenteritis in children worldwide and have been associated with encephalitis and meningitis in immunocompromised individuals. Through comparative genomic analysis of >400 astrovirus sequences, we identif...
