Raut C, Yadav P, Towner J, Amman B, Erickson B, Cannon D, et al.
Intervirology . 2012 May; 55(6):488-90. PMID: 22572722
Surveillance work was initiated to study the presence of highly infectious diseases like Ebola-Reston, Marburg, Nipah and other possible viruses that are known to be found in the bat species...

Towner J, Mazanet M, Semler B
J Virol . 1998 Aug; 72(9):7191-200. PMID: 9696813
This study demonstrates the in vitro complementation of an RNA replication-defective lesion in poliovirus RNA by providing a replicase/polymerase precursor polypeptide [P3(wt) (wild type)] in trans. The replication-defective mutation was...

Blair W, Parsley T, Bogerd H, Towner J, Semler B, Cullen B
RNA . 1998 May; 4(2):215-25. PMID: 9570321
Using an assay capable of detecting sequence-specific RNA/protein interactions in mammalian cells, we demonstrate that the poliovirus and rhinovirus 3C proteinases are able to bind structured target RNA sequences derived...

Parsley T, Towner J, Blyn L, EHRENFELD E, Semler B
RNA . 1997 Nov; 3(10):1124-34. PMID: 9326487
Poly(rC) binding protein 2 (PCBP2) forms a specific ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex with the 5'-terminal sequences of poliovirus genomic RNA, as determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Mutational analysis showed that...

Todd S, Towner J, Brown D, Semler B
J Virol . 1997 Oct; 71(11):8868-74. PMID: 9343250
The genomic RNA 3' noncoding region is believed to be a major cis-acting molecular genetic determinant for regulating picornavirus negative-strand RNA synthesis by promoting replication complex recognition. We report the...

Blyn L, Towner J, Semler B, EHRENFELD E
J Virol . 1997 Aug; 71(8):6243-6. PMID: 9223526
Poly(rC) binding protein 2 (PCBP2) is one of several cellular proteins that interact specifically with a major stem-loop domain in the poliovirus internal ribosome entry site. HeLa cell extracts subjected...

Todd S, Towner J, Semler B
Virology . 1997 Mar; 229(1):90-7. PMID: 9123881
The poor translation efficiency of genome-length human rhinovirus RNA in vitro using HeLa cell extract-supplemented rabbit reticulocyte lysate has hampered the study of rhinovirus IRES-mediated translation and polyprotein synthesis in...

Towner J, Ho T, Semler B
J Biol Chem . 1996 Oct; 271(43):26810-8. PMID: 8900162
Poliovirus protein 3AB may serve as the lipophilic carrier of a protein primer (VPg or 3B) used for the initiation of genomic viral RNA synthesis. In order to study the...
