Site-Specific Modification of Epstein-Barr Virus-Encoded RNA 1 with N²-Benzylguanosine Limits the Binding Sites Occupied by PKR
Examining viral decoys: Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) generates small RNA inhibitors of the human RNA‐dependent protein kinase (PKR). We demonstrate that chemical synthesis of analogues of the EBV PKR inhibitor EBER1 bearing single N2‐benzylguanosine substitutions (BnG6 or BnG29) can be used to control t...

Summary: | Examining viral decoys: Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) generates small RNA inhibitors of the human RNA‐dependent protein kinase (PKR). We demonstrate that chemical synthesis of analogues of the EBV PKR inhibitor EBER1 bearing single N2‐benzylguanosine substitutions (BnG6 or BnG29) can be used to control the way PKR binds this RNA. |
