Viral infection and SG formation.

Family Species Genome SG formation Mechanism of inhibition or activation Refs
Picornaviridae Poliovirus ssRNA (+ sense) Yes (transient) G3BP1 cleavage by 3C protease 30, 67
EMCV ssRNA (+ sense) Yes (transient) G3BP1 cleavage by 3C protease [29]
Mengovirus ssRNA (+ sense) No Inhibition by leader protein [37]
TMEV ssRNA (+ sense) No Inhibition by leader protein [37]
