Abstract excerpt
Protein 2C(ATPase) of picornaviruses is involved in the rearrangement of host cell organelles, viral RNA replication, and encapsidation. However, the biochemical and molecular mechanisms by which 2C(ATPase) engages in these processes are not known. To characterize functional domains of 2C(ATPase), we have focused on a cysteine-rich motif near the carboxy terminus of poliovirus 2C(ATPase). This region, which is...
