In this study, we describe the interaction of a cellular protein, MADP1 (zinc finger CCHC-type and RNA binding motif 1) with the 5 0 -UTR of IBV and SARS-CoV, using yeast-based three hybrid screen (34) and RNA-binding assays. Using indirect immunofluorescence, we confirmed that MADP1, despite being reported as a nuclear protein (35) , was detected in the cytoplasm of virus-infected cells and partially co-localized with the RTCs. Upon silencing of MADP1 using siRNA, viral RNA synthesis on general has been affected, resulting in a lower replication efficiency and infectivity. ./cache/cord-269150-d1sgnxc0.txt ./txt/cord-269150-d1sgnxc0.txt
