Disease relevance of Mononegavirales

  • A new recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) that expresses green fluorescent protein (GFP) on the cytoplasmic domain of the VSV glycoprotein (G protein) was used in the mouse as a model for studying brain infections by a member of the Mononegavirales order that can cause permanent changes in behavior [1].
  • Highly conserved domains were identified in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (L) between TV and other viruses within the order of Mononegavirales, and homology was found in particular with members of the Rhabdoviridae [2].
 

High impact information on Mononegavirales

  • The presence of several conserved linear domains commonly found within L proteins of other members of the order Mononegavirales identified this protein as the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of Ebola virus [3].
  • This study represents the first comprehensive functional assessment of the accessary C protein for Mononegavirales [4].
  • Alignment of the Mokola virus L protein with other polymerases from the virus order Mononegavirales defined three domains: a divergent NH2-terminal domain, a highly conserved central domain carrying most of the functional motifs and a COOH-terminal domain with alternating conserved and divergent regions [5].
  • As in other families of the Mononegavirales, the active polymerase complex of BDV is composed of the polymerase (L), the nucleoprotein (N) and the phosphoprotein (P) [6].
