Characterization of the Arenavirus RING Finger Z Protein Regions Required for Z-Mediated Inhibition of Viral RNA Synthesis
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
The prototypic arenavirus lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is an enveloped virus with a bisegmented negative-strand RNA genome whose proteomic capability is limited to four polypeptides, namely, nucleoprotein; surface glycoprotein (GP), which is proteolytically processed into GP1 and GP2; polymerase (L); and a small (11-kDa) RING finger protein (Z). Using a reverse genetic system based on the ARM strain...
