Insertion of Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein in a Hinge Region of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus L Polymerase Protein Creates a Temperature-Sensitive Virus That Displays No Virion-Associated Polymerase Activity In Vitro

Abstract excerpt

The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of viruses belonging to the order Mononegavirales is part of a large multifunctional L protein that also catalyzes viral mRNA capping and cap methylation. The L protein of this diverse group of agents displays six blocks of conserved sequences. The precise relationship between these conserved regions and individual functions is largely unknown, except for "domain" VI that clearly...
