The African Swine Fever Virus Nonstructural Protein pB602L Is Required for Formation of the Icosahedral Capsid of the Virus Particle
27 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
African swine fever virus (ASFV) protein pB602L has been described as a molecular chaperone for the correct folding of the major capsid protein p72. We have studied the function of protein pB602L during the viral assembly process by using a recombinant ASFV, vB602Li, which inducibly expresses the gene coding for this protein. We show that protein pB602L is a late nonstructural protein, which, in contrast with...
