This indeed suggests that PA-X, besides having a role in the degradation of cellular mRNAs, may also degrade viral RNA to prevent recognition by innate immune sensors and activation of innate immune responses, similar to what was shown for the CoVs. To my knowledge, an endoribonuclease has not been identified in the RSV genome, so this virus may use alternative innate immune evasion strategies, as discussed elsewhere in this review. [91] suggested that RSV specifically targets mRNA encoding surfactant protein A, an innate immune factor with an important role in the epithelial tissue of the lung, which directly binds to virus particles to cause their destruction by host defense mechanisms. ./cache/cord-328252-dk54w8z9.txt ./txt/cord-328252-dk54w8z9.txt
