Protein Products of the Open Reading Frames Encoding Nonstructural Proteins of Human Astrovirus Serotype 8
13 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Human astroviruses have a positive-strand RNA genome, which contains three open reading frames (ORF1a, ORF1b, and ORF2). The genomic RNA is translated into two nonstructural polyproteins, nsp1a and nsp1ab, that contain sequences derived from ORF1a and from both ORF1a and ORF1b, respectively. Proteins nsp1a and nsp1ab are thought to be proteolytically processed to yield the viral proteins implicated in the...
