Throughout this section we will discuss how each of these RNA features render mRNA susceptible toand in many cases directviral endonuclease cleavage or similar strategies aimed at degradation of the host transcriptome during viral infection. Nsp1 thus emerges as a thorough RNA decay trigger that uses diverse and non-overlapping strategies to widely target host mRNAs. How the viral transcripts escape nsp-1 mediated is still under investigation. Overall, SARS coronavirus nsp1 is an interesting regulator of RNA stability: currently, nsp1 does not appear to have any endonucleolytic activity of its own, and instead binds to the 40 s subunit exploiting the host's RNA quality control pathways to trigger mRNA degradation. Vaccinia virus D10 protein has mRNA decapping activity, providing a mechanism for control of host and viral gene expression ./cache/cord-324697-c0dv1zmi.txt ./txt/cord-324697-c0dv1zmi.txt
