RNA elongation by respiratory syncytial virus polymerase is calibrated by conserved region V
The large polymerase subunit (L) of non-segmented negative strand RNA viruses transcribes viral mRNAs and replicates the viral genome. Studies with VSV have shown that conserved region V (CRV) of the L protein is part of the capping domain. However, CRV folds over and protrudes into the polymerization domain, suggesting that it might also have a role in RNA synthesis. In this study, the role of...
متن کاملInhibitors of respiratory syncytial virus replication target cotranscriptional mRNA guanylylation by viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory illness in infants, immunocompromised patients, and the elderly. New antiviral agents would be important tools in the treatment of acute RSV disease. RSV encodes its own RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that is responsible for the synthesis of both genomic RNA and subgenomic mRNAs. The viral polymerase also cotranscriptionally caps a...
متن کاملTranscription elongation factor of respiratory syncytial virus, a nonsegmented negative-strand RNA virus.
RNA synthesis by the paramyxovirus respiratory syncytial virus, a ubiquitous human pathogen, was found to be more complex than previously appreciated for the nonsegmented negative-strand RNA viruses. Intracellular RNA replication of a plasmid-encoded "minigenome" analog of viral genomic RNA was directed by coexpression of the N, P, and L proteins. But, under these conditions, the greater part o...
متن کاملSix-month to 3-year follow-up of children with acute respiratory infections caused by respiratory syncytial virus
Background and Objective: This study was performed to investigate long-term complications of Respiratory Syncytial Viral infections in patients admitted to Ali Asghar Hospital with acute respiratory infections who presented to follow-up outpatient clinics 6 months to 3 years after discharge, between years 2009 and 2011. Methods: In this retrospective observational study that was performed in a...
متن کاملMolecular Basis for the Selective Inhibition of Respiratory Syncytial Virus RNA Polymerase by 2'-Fluoro-4'-Chloromethyl-Cytidine Triphosphate
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe lower respiratory tract infections, yet no vaccines or effective therapeutics are available. ALS-8176 is a first-in-class nucleoside analog prodrug effective in RSV-infected adult volunteers, and currently under evaluation in hospitalized infants. Here, we report the mechanism of inhibition and selectivity of ALS-8176 and its parent ALS-8112. ALS-...
