Viral RNA export

Chem Biol. 1997 May;4(5):335-44. doi: 10.1016/s1074-5521(97)90124-1.

Abstract

Viruses can express intron-containing and intronless mRNAs, which are exported by alternative pathways. The study of the nuclear export of these unconventional mRNAs can provide key insights into the normal process of nuclear export and the alternative pathways provide an attractive target for the development of specific antiviral therapies.
