A Role for H/ACA and C/D Small Nucleolar RNAs in Viral Replication 2014-01-30 .txt text/plain 3654 218 12 We have employed gene-trap insertional mutagenesis to identify candidate genes whose disruption confer phenotypic resistance to lytic infection, in independent studies using 12 distinct viruses and several different cell lines. Expression of nine SNORA/Ds encoded within RCC1 (which also encodes the shorter non-coding SNHG3 gene), or SNHG1 were silenced with siRNAs for 2 days prior to infection with either cowpox virus (CPV), Dengue Fever virus (DFV), influenza A (FLU), human rhinovirus 16 (HRV16), herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2), or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). While a previous study showed that RCC1 supports HSV1 replication [21] , we did not observe that silencing RCC1 or the non-coding Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene 3 (SNHG3) inhibits HSV2 (data not shown), whereas inhibiting expression of the RCC1encoded SNORA73A did. The discovery of these classes of non-coding genes prominently represented in the mutant clones selected in our virus surviving cell lines suggests an importance of SNORAs and SNORDs in facilitating viral replication. ./cache/cord-308034-9b219k0v.txt ./txt/cord-308034-9b219k0v.txt
