The fraction of RNA that folds into the correct branched secondary structure determines hepatitis delta virus type 3 RNA editing levelsSarah D Linnstaedt
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC 20007, USA
RNA 15:1177-87. 2009....
Inhibition of hepatitis delta virus RNA editing by short inhibitory RNA-mediated knockdown of ADAR1 but not ADAR2 expressionGeetha C Jayan
Division of Molecular Virology and Immunology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Rockville, Maryland 20850, USA
J Virol 76:12399-404. 2002..We conclude that ADAR1 is primarily responsible for editing HDV RNA at the amber/W site during HDV infection...
Differential inhibition of RNA editing in hepatitis delta virus genotype III by the short and long forms of hepatitis delta antigenQiufang Cheng
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Georgetown University Medical Center, 3900 Reservoir Road NW, Washington, D.C. 20007-2197, USA
J Virol 77:7786-95. 2003..These results are consistent with regulation of amber/W editing in HDV genotype III by a negative-feedback mechanism due to differential interactions between structural elements in the HDV genotype III RNA and the two forms of HDAg...
Effects of conserved RNA secondary structures on hepatitis delta virus genotype I RNA editing, replication, and virus productionGeetha C Jayan
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC 20007, USA
J Virol 79:11187-93. 2005..Therefore, it appears that the conserved RNA secondary structure around the HDV genotype I amber/W site has been selected not for the highest editing efficiency but for optimal viral replication and secretion...
Increased RNA editing and inhibition of hepatitis delta virus replication by high-level expression of ADAR1 and ADAR2Geetha C Jayan
Division of Molecular Virology and Immunology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Rockville, Maryland 20850, USA
J Virol 76:3819-27. 2002..Our results indicate that HDV requires highly regulated and selective editing and that the level of ADAR expression can play an important role: overexpression of ADARs inhibits HDV RNA replication and compromises virus viability...
The role of a metastable RNA secondary structure in hepatitis delta virus genotype III RNA editingSarah D Linnstaedt
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC 20057, USA
RNA 12:1521-33. 2006....

J Virol 81:13544-51. 2007....
Hepatitis delta antigen requires a minimum length of the hepatitis delta virus unbranched rod RNA structure for bindingDawn A Defenbaugh
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC 20007, USA
J Virol 83:4548-56. 2009..The results are consistent with a model in which HDAg binds HDV unbranched rod RNA as multimers of fixed size rather than as individual subunits...
Multimerization of hepatitis delta antigen is a critical determinant of RNA binding specificityBrian C Lin
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Georgetown University Medical Center, 3900 Reservoir Rd, NW, Washington, DC 20007, USA
J Virol 84:1406-13. 2010..The results confirm the previous proposal that HDAg binds as a large multimer and demonstrate that the multimer is a critical determinant of the structure of the HDV RNP...

Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC 20007, USA E Mails R C S D L
Viruses 2:131-46. 2010..The virus' use of host RNA editing activity to produce two functionally distinct forms of HDAg is a particularly good example of this reliance. This review covers the mechanisms and control of RNA editing in the HDV replication cycle...
