A short leucine-rich sequence in the Borna disease virus p10 protein mediates association with the viral phospho- and nucleoproteins

Abstract excerpt

Borna disease virus (BDV) is unique among the non-segmented negative-strand RNA viruses of animals and man because it transcribes and replicates its genome in the nucleus of the infected cell. It has recently been discovered that BDV expresses a gene product of 87 amino acids, the p10 protein, from an open reading frame that overlaps with the gene encoding the viral p24 phosphoprotein. In addition, the p10...
