Systematic microRNA analysis identifies ATP6V0C as an essential host factor for human cytomegalovirus replication.

Recent advances in microRNA target identification have greatly increased the number of putative targets of viral microRNAs. However, it is still unclear whether all targets identified are biologically relevant. Here, we use a combined approach of RISC immunoprecipitation and focused siRNA screening...

description Recent advances in microRNA target identification have greatly increased the number of putative targets of viral microRNAs.

Using both a laboratory and clinical strain of human cytomegalovirus, we identify over 200 putative targets of human cytomegalovirus microRNAs following infection of fibroblast cells.
