RNA genome. Materials & methods: RNA affinity chromatography followed by mass spectrometry analysis
was used to identify the binding of host factors in Vero E6 cells. Results: A total of 59 host factors that
bound the MERS-CoV RNA genome in non-infected Vero E6 cells were identified. Most of the identified
cellular proteins were previously reported to interact with the genome of other RNA viruses.We validated
our mass spectrometry results using western blotting. Conclusion: These data enhance our knowledge
about the RNA–host interactions of coronaviruses, which could serve as targets for developing antiviral
therapeutics against MERS-CoV.
