Abstract excerpt
The 3C protease of poliovirus is distinguished from that of all other picornaviruses in that it only cleaves at Gln-Gly amino acid pairs within the viral polyprotein. To determine whether this strict cleavage specificity is an intrinsic property of the poliovirus 3C protease, amino acid substitutions were introduced at one of the Gln-Gly cleavage sites. Oligonucleotide-directed site-specific mutagenesis of an...
