J Virol
. 2012 Mar;
86(10):5708-18.
PMID: 22379089
We previously showed that a noncoding subgenomic flavivirus RNA (sfRNA) is required for viral pathogenicity, as a mutant West Nile virus (WNV) deficient in sfRNA production replicated poorly in wild-type...

Nucleic Acids Res
. 2011 Nov;
40(5):2210-23.
PMID: 22080551
West Nile virus (WNV) belongs to a group of medically important single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses causing deadly disease outbreaks around the world. The 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the flavivirus...

J Virol
. 2010 Aug;
84(21):11407-17.
PMID: 20719943
Flaviviruses are a group of single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses causing ∼100 million infections per year. We have recently shown that flaviviruses produce a unique, small, noncoding RNA (∼0.5 kb) derived...

PMID: 20100623
The interferon-inducible 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1b (Oas1b) protein inhibits West Nile virus (WNV) infection by preventing viral RNA (vRNA) accumulation in infected cells. Serial passage of WNV in Oas1b-expressing mouse cells...

Cell Host Microbe
. 2008 Dec;
4(6):579-91.
PMID: 19064258
Viral noncoding RNAs have been shown to play an important role in virus-host interplay to facilitate virus replication. We report that members of the genus Flavivirus, a large group of...
