Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation MNSV infection produced modified organelles that resemble mitochondria.
- Observation Immunolocalization of the GDC P protein confirmed the mitochondrial origin of the modified organelles.
- Observation Positive-sense viral RNA, capsid protein and dsRNA were localised in the modified organelles.
- Observation The altered mitochondria contain large, interconnected, internal dilations linked to the cytoplasm through pores or complex structures and with lipid bodies.
- Observation The MNSV p29 protein has mitochondria as its specific target.
- Observation MNSV induces extensive reorganization of host mitochondria that provides a protected environment for viral replication.
- Mechanism The MNSV p29 protein is the primary determinant of the reorganization of host mitochondria.
