Drosha as an interferon-independent antiviral factor

Loss of the nuclear RNase III enzyme Drosha, but not of Dicer, increases RNA virus replication in mammalian fibroblasts, and diverse RNA viruses drive Drosha into the cytoplasm by CRM1-dependent export in a manner that does not require new protein synthesis, RIG-I, TBK1 or type I interferon signaling.

A Small-RNA Enhancer of Viral Polymerase Activity

Influenza A virus small viral RNAs are shown to be synthesized from the complementary RNA intermediate, to load into the RNA binding cleft of the polymerase PA subunit, and to act there as segment-specific allosteric enhancers of full-length genome synthesis.
