Abstract excerpt
RNAs 1 and 2 of the tripartite genome of alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) encode the replicase proteins P1 and P2, respectively. P1 contains a methyltransferase-like domain in its N-terminal half, which has a putative role in capping the viral RNAs. Six residues in this domain that are highly conserved in the methyltransferase domains of alphavirus-like viruses were mutated individually in AMV P1. None of the mutants...
