Selective nuclear export of viral mRNAs in influenza-virus-infected cells

Z Chen et al. Trends Microbiol. 2000 Aug.

Abstract

The NS1A protein of influenza A virus specifically inhibits the cellular machinery that processes the 3' ends of cellular pre-mRNAs by targeting two of the essential proteins of this machinery. Because the virus does not use this cellular machinery to synthesize the 3' poly(A) ends of viral mRNA, the nuclear export of cellular but not viral mRNAs is selectively inhibited.
