Abstract excerpt
The 70-amino-acid A13L protein is a component of the vaccinia virus membrane. We demonstrate here that the protein is expressed at late times of infection, undergoes phosphorylation at a serine residue(s), and becomes encapsidated in a monomeric form. Phosphorylation is dependent on Ser40, which lies within the proline-rich motif SPPP. Because phosphorylation of the A13 protein is only minimally affected by...
