Abstract excerpt
The cellular protein, poly(rC) binding protein 2 (PCBP2), is known to function in picornavirus cap-independent translation. We have further examined the RNA binding properties and protein-protein interactions of PCBP2 necessary for translation. We have studied its putative multimerization properties utilizing the yeast two-hybrid assay and in vitro biochemical methods, including glutathione S-transferase (GST)...
