Elucidating protein-protein interactions between viral and host cellular proteins is critical to understanding viral pathogenesis.A yeast two-hybrid screen revealed that both major PRRSV envelope proteins GP5 and M interact with the cellular membrane fusion protein Snapin.Snapin is an accessory protein of the SNARE complex,the core intracellular membrane fusion mediator in eukaryotic cells.RNA interference (RNAi) technology was utilized to understand the potential involvement of the GP5/M interaction with Snapin in the PRRSV lifecycle.
