Several RNA viruses, including murine norovirus 1 (MNV-1) have been characterized to manipulate cell cycle progression at the G 1 /S restriction point, often creating favorable conditions for viral replication [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] . The effect of NS5 on the host cell cycle was therefore determined by transfection of RAW-Blue cells with RNA transcripts, encoding individual viral genes, NS1-2 from MNV-1 was included as a negative control (Fig 1A) . Furthermore, the NS5(F123A) variant decreased cyclin A protein expression by 67% when compared to the mocktransfected population in a synonymous manner to NS5, strongly implying that the host eukaryotic initiation factor binding domain of NS5 does not play a role in its cell cycle manipulation (Fig 3D) . ./cache/cord-002180-gsdk5x3e.txt ./txt/cord-002180-gsdk5x3e.txt
