  • Title: Cellular factors in the transcription and replication of viral RNA genomes: a parallel to DNA-dependent RNA transcription.
    Author: Lai MM.
    Journal: Virology; 1998 Apr 25; 244(1):1-12. PubMed ID: 9581772.
    Abstract:
    Viral RNA replication and transcription involves not only viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, but also cellular proteins, the majority of which are subverted from the RNA-processing or translation machineries of host cells. These factors interact with viral RNA or polymerases to form transcription or replication ribonucleoprotein complexes and may provide template specificity for RNA-dependent RNA synthesis, suggesting a close parallel to the mechanism of DNA-dependent RNA synthesis. The types of cellular proteins involved and their modes of action are reviewed.
