Abstract excerpt
The poliovirus polyprotein is cotranslationally linked to myristic acid at its amino-terminal glycine residue. We investigated the role of myristoylation in the viral replication cycle by site-directed mutagenesis of this glycine codon. Synthetic full-length RNA transcripts carrying a Gly-to-Ala...
