Abstract
The internal ribosome entry site (IRES) RNA of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), an economically significant Pestivirus, is required for the cap-independent translation of viral genomic RNA. Thus, it is essential for viral replication and pathogenesis. We applied a combination of high-throughput biochemical RNA structure probing (SHAPE-MaP) and in silico modelling approaches to gain insight into the secondary and tertiary structures of BVDV IRES RNA. Our study demonstrated that BVDV IRES RNA in solution forms a modular architecture composed of three distinct structural domains (I-III). Two regions within domain III are represented in tertiary interactions to form an H-type pseudoknot. Computational modelling of the pseudoknot motif provided a fine-grained picture of the tertiary structure and local arrangement of helices in the BVDV IRES. Furthermore, comparative genomics and consensus structure predictions revealed that the pseudoknot is evolutionarily conserved among many Pestivirus species. These studies provide detailed insight into the structural arrangement of BVDV IRES RNA H-type pseudoknot and encompassing motifs that likely contribute to the optimal functionality of viral cap-independent translation element.

Abstract
The 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) of positive-sense single-stranded RNA [ssRNA(+)] viruses is highly structured. Multiple elements in the region interact with other nucleotides and proteins of viral and cellular origin to regulate various aspects of the virus life cycle such as replication, translation, and the host-cell response. This review attempts to summarize the primary and higher order structures identified in the 3′UTR of ssRNA(+) viruses and their functional roles.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2015; 461:148-53.

Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that causes the most prevalent diseases in tropical and subtropical regions. DENV utilizes host factors to facilitate its replication, while host cells intend to restrain virus replication. NS4A of DENV has been implicated to play a crucial role during viral replication. To identify more cellular proteins that are recruited by NS4A, we carried out a tandem affinity purification assay. The mass spectrometry data revealed that human eukaryotic initiation factor 4AI (eIF4AI) was one of potential NS4A-interacting partners. Co-immunoprecipitation data confirmed the interaction between NS4A and eIF4AI, and both the N-terminal ATP-binding domain and C-terminal helicase domain of eIF4AI were involved in their association. Functionally, silencing of eIF4AI by RNAi significantly increased the replication level of DENV1, DENV2 and DENV3. And knockdown of eIF4AI markedly attenuated the phosphorylation of protein kinase regulated by dsRNA-activated (PKR) and eIF2ɑ induced by DENV2 infection. Collectively, these data suggested that a potential role of NS4A in antagonizing host antiviral defense is by recruiting eIF4AI and escaping the translation inhibition mediated by PKR.
