The NSP1 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been identified by its ability, when expressed at high levels, to bypass the CDC25 requirement for growth. Sequence analysis of the cloned NSP1 locus suggests that the NSP1 product contains 269 amino acids and has a membrane-spanning domain at its carboxyl terminus. The NSP1 protein does not have sequence similarity to other known proteins, and is not related to the CDC25 protein, or to any of the previously described suppressors of CDC25 mutants. Phosphoprotein analysis of NSP1-suppressed cells indicates that the NSP1 product controls the phosphorylation of two 31 kD proteins whose phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are strongly correlated with cell-cycle arrest and proliferation, respectively, and suggests that the NSP1 product is an important downstream element of a CDC25-dependent, nutrient-responsive, phosphorylation pathway.

Article Synopsis
- * SARS-CoV-2 can inhibit this defense mechanism by producing specific proteins that interfere with MDA5's function and induce the production of antibodies against it.
- * Genetic studies have identified variants in the ifih1 gene that are linked to COVID-19 risk, indicating that targeting MDA5 and its pathway could offer new treatment options for the disease.

The highly abundant and stable antiviral small RNA derived from honeysuckle, known as miR2911, has been shown to play a key role in inhibiting influenza virus infection and SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, whether miR2911 inhibits the replication of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) remains unknown. Hence, this study investigated the mechanisms underlying the action of miR2911 during PRRSV infection.

Alphavirus infection induces dramatic remodeling of host cellular membranes, producing filopodia-like and intercellular extensions. The formation of filopodia-like extensions has been primarily assigned to the replication protein nsP1, which binds and reshapes the host plasma membrane when expressed alone. While reported decades ago, the molecular mechanisms behind nsP1 membrane deformation remain unknown.

SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the family and carries a single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome. During coronavirus (CoV) replication, defective or defective interfering RNAs that lack a large portion of the genome often emerge. These defective RNAs typically carry the necessary RNA elements that are required for replication and packaging.

Nsp1 in SARS-CoV-2 is a key protein that increases the virus's pathogenicity and virulence by binding to the host ribosome and blocks the 40S ribosomal subunit channel, which effectively impedes the mRNA translation as well as crippling the host immune system. Previous studies revealed that the N-terminal in Nsp1 is part and parcel of Nsp1 efficiency, and mutations in its core residues have weakened the protein's. This knowledge persuades us to carry out the in silico screening on plant compounds of Piper sarmentosum Roxb.
