Title: | Molecular Biology and pathogenesis of coronavirus: Virus and host factors involved in viral RNA transcription | Authors: | TAN YONG WAH | Keywords: | coronavirus,RNA binding,IBV,RNA synthesis,nsp8,nsp12 | Issue Date: | 18-Jan-2012 | Citation: | TAN YONG WAH (2012-01-18).

ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Coronaviruses RNA synthesis is regulated by both virus-encoded and cellular proteins. In a screen based on a yeast three-hybrid system using the 5?-untranslated region (5?-UTR) of SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) RNA as bait against the HeLa cell cDNA library, zinc finger CCHC-type and RNA binding motif 1 (MADP1) was isolated and subsequently confirmed in coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). The specificity of the interaction was determined and the interacting regions were subsequently mapped to the N-terminal portion of MADP1 and stem loop I of IBV 5?-UTR. MADP1 was also found to be translocated to the cytoplasm in IBV-infected cells using indirect immunofluorescence and defective viral RNA synthesis had been observed in MADP1 knockdown cells. The IBV non-structural protein 8 (nsp8) was found to interact with nsp12 at the latter?s N- and C-terminal regions and a possible mode of cooperation between the two replicase gene products had been proposed. | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/34383 |
