Disease relevance of Paramyxovirinae

 

High impact information on Paramyxovirinae

  • The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of a subset of the NNV, all members of the Paramyxovirinae, also stutter in a very controlled fashion to edit their phosphoprotein gene mRNA, and Ebola virus, a filovirus, carries out a related process on its glycoprotein mRNA [3].
  • Structural disorder and modular organization in Paramyxovirinae N and P [2].
  • These results demonstrate that, although interference with IFN signaling is a common strategy among Paramyxovirinae, distinct virus-specific mechanisms are used to achieve this end [4].
  • The V ORF translation product contained a highly conserved, cysteine-rich domain that is common to most viruses in the Paramyxovirinae subfamily [5].
  • Although the HeV G protein had low sequence homology with Paramyxovirinae members, the predicted folding pattern of its extracellular globular head was very similar to that of members of the genus Paramyxovirus, with the location of seven potential pairs of sulfide bonds absolutely conserved [6].
 

Biological context of Paramyxovirinae

 

Gene context of Paramyxovirinae

  • The 3' untranslated sequence of the HeV N gene mRNA was 568 nt and was much longer than that observed in other Paramyxovirinae [1].
  • Variability of the N protein was detected in the C-terminal portion similar to what has been reported for other members of the Paramyxovirinae [8].
