Abstract excerpt
Proteolytic processing plays a fundamental role in gene expression of a recently characterized viral-like double-stranded RNA associated with biological control of the chestnut blight fungus. Polypeptide p29, a papain-like protease, was shown to autocatalytically release itself from the NH2 termi...
