Repression of African Swine Fever Virus Polyprotein pp220-Encoding Gene Leads to the Assembly of Icosahedral Core-Less Particles
15 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
African swine fever virus (ASFV) polyprotein pp220, encoded by the CP2475L gene, is an N-myristoylated precursor polypeptide that, after proteolytic processing, gives rise to the major structural proteins p150, p37, p34, and p14. These proteins localize at the core shell, a matrix-like virus domain placed between the DNA-containing nucleoid and the inner envelope. In this study, we have examined the role of...
