Abstract excerpt
A consensus sequence in parvovirus nonstructural protein NS1 has been predicted to be an ATP-binding domain associated with an ATPase and a DNA helicase activity. To investigate the function of NS1 in viral gene expression, a site-directed mutagenesis converting NS1 lysine 405 to serine in parvovirus H-1 was carried out by the polymerase chain reaction. As shown previously, a parvovirus genome containing a...
