Abstract excerpt
The interaction between viral capsid protein (CP) and its cognate viral RNA modulates many steps in the virus infection cycle, such as replication, translation and assembly. The N-terminal 50 amino acids of the Red clover necrotic mosaic virus (RCNMV) CP are rich in basic residues (especially lysine) and are essential for the core functions of the CP, namely RNA binding and virion assembly. To further elucidate...
