Mutagenesis of the Dengue Virus Type 2 NS5 Methyltransferase Domain
10 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
The Flavivirus NS5 protein possesses both (guanine-N7)-methyltransferase and nucleoside-2'-O methyltransferase activities required for sequential methylation of the cap structure present at the 5' end of the Flavivirus RNA genome. Seventeen mutations were introduced into the dengue virus type 2 NS5 methyltransferase domain, targeting amino acids either predicted to be directly involved in S-adenosyl-l-methionine...
