Host-RNA binding occurs pre-infection; leaves open functional roles and antiviral targeting in coronaviruses.
Wang et al. (1995) studied Mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) infection. MHV-JHM infection vs. Mock infection (uninfected cells) was evaluated on Specific binding of host cellular proteins to the 3' end of MHV genomic RNA. Host cellular proteins specifically bind to two distinct sites within the 3' end of the mouse hepatitis virus genomic RNA, forming identical RNA-protein complexes in both infected and uninfected cells.
