Abstract excerpt
The helicase-like domain of the Bamboo mosaic virus replicase catalyzes the release of 5'-gamma-phosphate from both ATP and 5'-triphosphated RNA by an identical set of catalytic residues with a presumably larger binding pocket for RNA. In this study, the peptidyl regions involved in RNA binding were mapped by reversible formaldehyde crosslinking and mass spectrometry. Eleven residues within these regions were...
