Abstract excerpt
The Rous sarcoma virus Gag protein undergoes transient nuclear trafficking during virus assembly. Nuclear import is mediated by a nuclear targeting sequence within the MA domain. To gain insight into the role of nuclear transport in replication, we investigated whether addition of a "classical " nuclear localization signal (NLS) in Gag would affect virus assembly or infectivity. A bipartite NLS derived from...
