Revisiting mRNA capping in Mononegavirales: a promising, yet underexplored antiviral target
ABSTRACT mRNA capping is a co-transcriptional, nuclear process in eukaryotes that adds a cap onto the 5' end of RNA to confer stability, efficient translation, and nuclear export. Viruses have evolved diverse strategies by mimicking or subverting host pathways to install an mRNA cap for efficient gene expression and ev...
