Abstract excerpt
Evidence that NSP2 plays a role in packaging and replication comes from studies on tsE(1400), a rotavirus mutant with a temperature-sensitive (ts) lesion in the NSP2 gene. Cells infected with tsE and maintained at nonpermissive temperature contain few replication-assembly factories (viroplasms) or replication intermediates and produce virus particles that are mostly empty. Sequence analysis has indicated that an...
