The present study provides mechanistic insight into the interaction between the TGEV M protein and intestinal cells which contributes to the understanding of coronavirus replication and may be useful for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for TGEV infection. In the present study, using yeast two-hybrid screening, seven cellular proteins, including eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4-alpha (EIF4A2), were identified to be M-ligands. Moreover, previous reports have shown that EIF4A2 interacts with VP1 of infectious bursal disease virus (IBD) and inhibits the RNA polymerase activity of IBDV to reduce its replication in host cells (Tacken et al., 2004; Gao et al., 2017) . ./cache/cord-287266-sd5izamc.txt ./txt/cord-287266-sd5izamc.txt
