These IFN-stimulated genes inhibit viral replication by many different mechanisms, including binding to viral nucleocapsids, translation inhibition, RNA degradation, RNA editing, and apoptosis induction. [25] In two other cases of otosclerosis, McKenna et al also observed on electron microscopy filamentous structures that were morphologically very similar to paramyxoviral nucleocapsids in osteoblasts. Cleavage of the HA0 protein of influenza viruses results in an essential confonnational change in the HA protein, which enables the envelope of the endocytosed virus to fuse with the membrane of endosomes, releasing nucleocapsids into the cytoplasmic compartment (5,13). |
