AI Summary
During viral infections, there is a complex relationship between the virus and the host that affects gene expression. The host often produces antiviral genes to fight off the infection, while the virus tries to disrupt this response. One of the mechanisms used by viruses is destabilizing mRNA, which can prevent the production of antiviral proteins. This article focuses on understanding the processes and consequences of mRNA destabilization during viral infections. The goal is to gain insights into the host-virus interactions and potentially identify new targets for antiviral therapies.
During viral infection there is dynamic interplay between the virus and the host to regulate gene expression. In many cases, the host induces the expression of antiviral genes to combat infection, while the vi…
