View article: Suppression of viral RNA polymerase activity is necessary for persistent infection during the transformation of measles virus into SSPE virus
Suppression of viral RNA polymerase activity is necessary for persistent infection during the transformation of measles virus into SSPE virus Open
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by measles virus (MV), which typically develops 7 to 10 years after acute measles. During the incubation period, MV establishes a persistent infection i…

Upregulation of viral RNA polymerase activity promotes adaptation of SSPE virus to neuronal cells Open
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by measles virus variants (SSPE viruses) that results in eventual death. Amino acid substitution(s) in the viral fusion (F) protein are key f…

M protein of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis virus, synergistically with the F protein, plays a crucial role in viral neuropathogenicity Open
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a rare fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by a measles virus (MV) variant, SSPE virus, that accumulates mutations during long-term persistent infection of the central nervous system (CNS). …

Respirovirus C protein inhibits activation of type I interferon receptor‐associated kinases to block JAK‐STAT signaling Open
Respirovirus C protein blocks the type I interferon (IFN)‐stimulated activation of the JAK‐STAT pathway. It has been reported that C protein inhibits IFN‐α‐stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of STATs, but the underlying mechanism is poorl…

Human Metapneumovirus M2-2 Protein Acts as a Negative Regulator of Alpha Interferon Production by Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Open
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) has the ability to inhibit Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)- and TLR9-dependent alpha interferon (IFN-α) production by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). However, the inhibition mechanism remains largely unknown. …
