Abstract excerpt
The multifunctional IVa2 protein is essential for adenovirus replication [J. Virol. 77 (2003) 3586], but the relative importance of the transcriptional and encapsidation functions is unknown. As part of a study of IVa2 function, we created a set of mutations in the IVa2 gene in the correct location in the viral genome. Unexpectedly, an opal stop codon at position 6 was recovered in virus twice. Isolate #2 showed...
