It has been shown that in cells infected with different nidoviruses, virus-induced membrane reorganization produces characteristic DMVs, as well as other membranous structures, which have been related with the viral RNA replication and transcription processes. To investigate whether torovirus DMVs are the sites where replication and transcription occur, we obtained specific sera for the BEV M pro , Hel and RdRp, three key proteins in the formation and functioning of RTCs. All showed a high colocalization with each other and with newly synthesized RNAs. However, the dsRNA, widely used as a marker of RTC in several positive-strand RNA viruses, only showed a partial colocalization with the nsps. ./cache/cord-302830-5psqxxc8.txt ./txt/cord-302830-5psqxxc8.txt
