Abstract
We recently showed that isolated replication complexes are able to synthesize two species of nascent viral RNA, one double stranded and the other single stranded. NS5B nucleoside inhibitors block synthesis of both species, whereas nonnucleoside inhibitors inhibit mostly single- tranded RNA synthesis...

Abstract
These results suggest that the rotavirus VP6, NSP1 and NSP5 genes of Wa-like rotaviruses are more prone to temporal mutations. Both structural and nonstructural genes of the Western Indian rotavirus strains shared nucleotide and amino acid substitutions with the Bangladeshi strain, Dhaka16-03 (G1P[8...

Abstract
We focused our strategy on the allosteric inhibitors capable of targeting the NS2B-NS3pro interface rather than the NS3pro active site. Using virtual ligand screening of the diverse, ∼275,000-compound library and the catalytic domain of the two-component West Nile virus (WNV) NS2B-NS3pro as a rece...

Abstract
Structure-based library design employs both structure-based drug design (SBDD) and combinatorial library design. Combinatorial library design concepts have evolved over the past decade, and this chapter covers several novel aspects of structure-based library design together with successful case stud...

Abstract
We analyzed the incidence of BA, morphological change, morphogenesis of viral particles and viral mRNA and protein expression. The in vitro experiments showed NSP4 silencing decreased the levels of VP7 and VP4, reduced viral particles and decreased cytopathic effect. NSP4-positive cells had strongly...

Abstract
We analyze all available RBD, ED, and full-length NS1 structures, including four novel crystal structures obtained using EDs from divergent human and avian viruses, as well as two forms of a monomeric ED mutant. The data reveal the helix-helix interface as the only strictly conserved ED homodimeric...

Abstract
We showed that the nuclear, mature SREBP-1c level increases in the nucleus of replicon cells expressing HCV-3a nonstructural protein-5A (NS5A). We further showed that HCV-3a NS5A up-regulates SREBP-1c transcription. Additional analysis showed that transcriptional factor Sp1 is involved in SREBP-1c a...

Abstract
We developed a method to recover recombinant viruses in which independent selection strategies are used to engineer single-gene replacements. We coupled a mutant SA11 RV encoding a temperature-sensitive (ts) defect in the NSP2 protein with RNAi-mediated degradation of NSP2 mRNAs to isolate a virus c...

Abstract
We describe a combined structural and functional analysis of genotype 1 HCV-NS5b of strains H77 (subtype 1a), for which no structure has been previously reported, and J4 (subtype 1b). Our results highlight the linker as directly involved in lifting the first boundary to processive RNA synthesis, the...

Abstract
I strains from the 2000s was noteworthy (4.7-6.7%). Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the NSP4 genes showed almost equal distribution (45.0-55.0%) of genotypes A and B however, higher amino acid divergence within the genotype B strains (up to 9.3%) than in genotype A strains (up to 2.9%) at th...

Abstract
We have reported that specifically designed SRPK inhibitors suppressed effectively several DNA and RNA viruses in vitro and in vivo. Here, we show that an SRPK inhibitor, SRPIN340, suppressed in a dose-dependent fashion expression of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) subgenomic replicon and replication of t...

Abstract
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B RNA polymerase facilitates the RNA synthesis step during the HCV replication cycle. Nucleoside analogs targeting the NS5B provide an attractive approach to treating HCV infections because of their high barrier to resistance and pan-genotype activity. PSI-7851, a pron...

Abstract
We found that NS1 genes originating from two H3 avian influenza viruses, A/duck/Beijing/40/04 (Dk/BJ/40/04) and A/duck/Beijing/61/05 (Dk/BJ/61/05), possessing three amino acid residue differences at positions 127, 205 and 209 contributed to an altered virulence in rescued NS1 recombinant viruses on...

Abstract
We have examined L4-22K and L4-33K for possible DEF-A activity. We show that L4-22K stimulates transcription from the MLP in a DE sequence dependent manner both in vivo and in vitro, and that L4-22K binds to the DE sequence in vitro. Further, the position of the L4-22K DNA binding site in a promoter...

Bunyamwera virus NSs protein is involved in the inhibition of cellular transcription and the interferon (IFN) response, and it interacts with the Med8 component of Mediator. A spontaneous mutant of a recombinant NSs-deleted Bunyamwera virus (rBUNdelNSs2) was identified and characterized. This mutant...

We conducted a yeast two-hybrid screening. As a result, we identified a cellular protein termed bovine NIK- and IKKbeta-binding protein (NIBP), which is involved in protein trafficking and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) signalling in cells. The interaction of NS5A with NIBP was confirmed both in...

We employed a lentivirus-based RNA interference (RNAi) screening approach to search for possible cellular factors. By using a kinase-phosphatase RNAi library and an HCV replicon reporter system, we identified a serine-threonine kinase, Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1), as a potential host factor regulating...
