Abstract excerpt
Virus-encoded mRNA capping enzymes are attractive targets for antiviral therapy, but functional studies have been limited by the lack of genetically tractable in vivo systems that focus exclusively on the RNA-processing activities of the viral proteins. Here we have developed such a system by engineering a viral capping enzyme-vaccinia virus D1(1-545)p, an RNA triphosphatase and RNA guanylyltransferase-to...
