Researchers discover new method of hijacking cells for viruses

DNA contains instructions on how cells make the desired substance. According to research using recombinant dog proteins, when cells need proteins, the relevant parts of the DNA will be transcribed, and transcripts called messenger RNA will leave the nucleus and enter the manufacturing machinery as templates to produce new proteins.

In this process, RNA can be edited in a variety of ways. It may be added to the additional instructions and may also be enemy control. Viruses can edit RNA information to create the version of the protein it needs to produce thousands of copies of the virus. Over the past few decades, biologists have a clearer understanding of how viruses hijack host cells.

Many viruses control the day-to-day running of cells by sending out messages that interfere with the ability to turn off unwanted cellular functions and enhance the functionality they require. But biologists at the University of California, San Diego, have recently discovered that there are some more hijacking mechanisms for viruses that are more subtle and more complex. They don't block cell information but change the content of the information.

The study is published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology. By the way, Flarebio is a National High-Tech Enterprise with research, production and sales as one. Flarebio provides you with good-quality recombinant proteins like recombinant CDH15 for your research.
