Abstract excerpt
Poliovirus proteinase 2A(pro) is an essential enzyme involved in cleavages of viral and cellular proteins during the infectious cycle. Evidence has been obtained that 2A(pro) is also involved in genome replication. All enteroviruses have a negatively charged cluster of amino acids at their C terminus (E(E)/(D)(E)/(D)AMEQ-NH(2)), a common motif suggesting function. When aligned with enterovirus sequences, the...
