- Genome Replication and Regulation of Viral Gene Expression | SpotlightControl of Archetype BK Polyomavirus MicroRNA Expression
The BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) miRNA plays an important role in regulating viral large-T-antigen expression and limiting the replication of archetype BKPyV, suggesting that the miRNA regulates BKPyV persistence. However, how miRNA expression is regulated is poorly understood. Here, we present evidence that the miRNA is expressed from an intron that is generated by RNA polymerase II transcribing the circular viral genome more than once. We...

Antiretroviral (ARV) drug regimens suppress HIV-1 replication but are unable to cure infection. This leaves people living with HIV-1 burdened by a lifelong commitment to expensive daily medication. Furthermore, it has become clear that ARV therapy does not fully restore health, leaving individuals at elevated risk for cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancers, and neurocognitive disorders, as well as leaving them exposed to...
- GemPicornaviruses and RNA Metabolism: Local and Global Effects of Infection
Due to the limiting coding capacity for members of the Picornaviridae family of positive-strand RNA viruses, their successful replication cycles require complex interactions with host cell functions.
- Genome Replication and Regulation of Viral Gene ExpressionSplicing-Dependent Subcellular Targeting of Borna Disease Virus Nucleoprotein Isoforms
Borna disease virus (BoDV) is a highly neurotropic RNA virus that belongs to the orthobornavirus genus. A zoonotic orthobornavirus that is genetically related to BoDV has recently been identified in squirrels, thus increasing the importance of understanding the replication and pathogenesis of orthobornaviruses. BoDV replicates in the nucleus and uses alternative mRNA splicing to express viral proteins. However, it is unknown whether the...
