Does not alter polio management; leaves open targeted antiviral strategies pending further validation.
The study demonstrates that poliovirus protein 2A acts in trans, while 2B acts in cis during viral RNA replication, supporting a model linking translation of plus-strand RNA with replication complex formation.
Collis et al. (1992) studied Poliovirus RNA replication. Transfection of full-length and subgenomic poliovirus RNAs was evaluated on Viral RNA replication and genetic complementation. Poliovirus 2A acts as a trans-acting protein while 2B and potentially other viral proteins are cis-acting during viral RNA replication in vivo.
