A Functional Genomics Approach to Henipavirus Research: The Role of Nuclear Proteins, MicroRNAs and Immune Regulators in Infection and Disease 2017-07-04 .txt text/plain 8310 409 43 title: A Functional Genomics Approach to Henipavirus Research: The Role of Nuclear Proteins, MicroRNAs and Immune Regulators in Infection and Disease Here we largely focus on findings from two recent RNAi screens to identify protein-coding genes and host-encoded microRNAs impacting the henipavirus infection cycle in human cells. X-ray data have suggested that the methylation of rRNA requires the formation of this complex with involvement of four fibrillarin molecules interacting with different regions of the target rRNAs. The yeast equivalent of fibrillarin, NOP1, has been more extensively studied than the human counterpart but fibrillarin is a well-conserved protein in most organisms, reinforcing the notion that all post-transcriptional processes involving fibrillarin such as chemical modification (methylation) of rRNA, pre-rRNA cleavage and ribosome assembly are essential for proper cellular functioning (Rodriguez-Corona et al. Deffrasnes and colleagues showed that siRNA-mediated knockdown of fibrillarin expression dramatically reduced HeV protein production and viral genome replication but did not impact viral fusion, and that fibrillarin catalytic activity was essential to henipavirus infection. ./cache/cord-256325-q70rky3r.txt ./txt/cord-256325-q70rky3r.txt
