Abstract excerpt
Segment B of bisegmented infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) encodes virus protein 1 (VP1), possessing RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) activity. This multidomain protein includes an RdRp domain with a non-canonical order of three sequence motifs forming the active site: C-A-B. The A-B-C order of the motifs, as found in RdRps of the majority of viruses, was converted by relocation (permutation) of motif C...
