RNA viruses are a major human health threat. The life cycles of many highly pathogenic RNA viruses like influ-enza A virus (IAV) and Lassa virus depends on host mRNA, because viral polymerases cleave 50-m7G-cappedhost transcripts to prime viral mRNA...

Flexibility of bunyavirus genomes: creation of an orthobunyavirus with an ambisense S segment (2015)
Journal Article

The Bunyamwera (BUNV) orthobunyavirus NSs protein has proven a challenge to study in the context of viral infection. NSs is encoded in a reading frame that overlaps that of the viral nucleocapsid (N) protein thus limiting options for mutagenesis. In...

The transient nature of Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus NSs protein expression: effects of increased stability of NSs protein on virus replication (2013)
Journal Article
van Knippenberg, I., Fragkoudis, R., & Elliott, R. (2013). The transient nature of Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus NSs protein expression: effects of increased stability of NSs protein on virus replication. PLOS ONE, 8(5), Article e64137. https://doi.org/10.13

The NSs proteins of bunyaviruses are the viral interferon antagonists, counteracting the host's antiviral response to infection. During high-multiplicity infection of cultured mammalian cells with Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus (BUNV), NSs is rapidly deg...

Establishment of a reverse genetics system for Schmallenberg virus, a newly emerged orthobunyavirus in Europe (2013)
Journal Article
Elliott, R., Blakqori, G., van Knippenberg, I., Koudriakova, E., Li, P., McLees, A., …Szemiel, A. (2013). Establishment of a reverse genetics system for Schmallenberg virus, a newly emerged orthobunyavirus in Europe. Journal of General Virology, 94(4),

Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a newly emerged orthobunyavirus that has caused widespread disease in cattle, sheep and goats in Europe. Like other orthobunyaviruses, SBV is characterized by a tripartite negative-sense RNA genome that encodes four struc...

The N-terminus of Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus NSs protein is essential for interferon antagonism (2010)
Journal Article
van Knippenberg, I., Carlton-Smith, C., & Elliott, R. (2010). The N-terminus of Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus NSs protein is essential for interferon antagonism. Journal of General Virology, 91(8), https://doi.org/10.1099/vir.0.021774-0

Bunyamwera virus NSs protein is involved in the inhibition of cellular transcription and the interferon (IFN) response, and it interacts with the Med8 component of Mediator. A spontaneous mutant of a recombinant NSs-deleted Bunyamwera virus (rBUNdelN... Read More about The N-terminus of Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus NSs protein is essential for interferon antagonism.

Rep provides a second motor at the replisome to promote duplication of protein-bound DNA (2009)
Journal Article
Guy, C., Atkinson, J., Gupta, M., Mahdi, A., Gwynn, E., Rudolph, C., …McGlynn, P. (2009). Rep provides a second motor at the replisome to promote duplication of protein-bound DNA. Molecular Cell, 36(4), 654-666. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molcel.2009.11.

Nucleoprotein complexes present challenges to genome stability by acting as potent blocks to replication. One attractive model of how such conflicts are resolved is direct targeting of blocked forks by helicases with the ability to displace the block...

Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus S-segment untranslated regions mediate poly(A) tail-independent translation (2009)
Journal Article
Blakqori, G., van Knippenberg, I., & Elliott, R. (2009). Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus S-segment untranslated regions mediate poly(A) tail-independent translation. Journal of Virology, 83(8), https://doi.org/10.1128/jvi.02201-08

The mRNAs of Bunyamwera virus (BUNV), the prototype of the Bunyaviridae family, possess a 5′ cap structure but lack a 3′ poly(A) tail, a common feature of eukaryotic mRNAs that greatly enhances translation efficiency. Viral mRNAs also contain untrans... Read More about Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus S-segment untranslated regions mediate poly(A) tail-independent translation.

Replication fork blockage by transcription factor-DNA complexes in Escherichia coli (2006)
Journal Article

All organisms require mechanisms that resuscitate replication forks when they break down, reflecting the complex intracellular environments within which DNA replication occurs. Here we show that as few as three lac repressor-operator complexes block... Read More about Replication fork blockage by transcription factor-DNA complexes in Escherichia coli.

Tomato spotted wilt virus transcriptase in vitro displays a preference for cap donors with multiple base complementarity to the viral template (2005)
Journal Article

Transcription of segmented negative-strand RNA viruses is initiated by cap snatching: a host mRNA is cleaved generally at 10–20 nt from its 5′ capped end and the resulting capped leader used to prime viral transcription. For Tomato spotted wilt virus... Read More about Tomato spotted wilt virus transcriptase in vitro displays a preference for cap donors with multiple base complementarity to the viral template.
