A proposed molecular mechanism for pathogenesis of severe RNA-viral pulmonary infections [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Background: Certain riboviruses can cause severe pulmonary complications leading to death in some infected patients. We propose that DNA damage induced-apoptosis accelerates viral release, triggered by depletion of host RNA binding proteins (RBPs) from nuclear RNA bound to replicating viral sequence...
