African Swine Fever Virus Polyprotein pp62 Is Essential for Viral Core Development
22 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
One of the most characteristic features of African swine fever virus gene expression is its use of two polyproteins, pp220 and pp62, to produce several structural proteins that account for approximately 32% of the total protein virion mass. Equimolecular amounts of these proteins are the major components of the core shell, a thick protein layer that lies beneath the inner envelope, surrounding the viral nucleoid....
