Abstract excerpt
Mature protein C of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is cleaved from the polyprotein precursor by the viral NS2B/3 protease (NS2B/3(pro)). We showed previously that replacement of the NS2B/3(pro) cleavage site at the C terminus of protein C by the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) 2A StopGo sequence leads to the production of infectious virions. Here, we show that infectious virions can also be produced...
