Abstract excerpt
Polypeptide 2C(ATPase) is one of the most thoroughly studied but least understood proteins in the life cycle of poliovirus. Within the protein, multiple functional domains important for uncoating, host cell membrane alterations, and RNA replication and encapsidation have previously been identified. In this study, charged to alanine-scanning mutagenesis was used to generate conditional-lethal mutations in...
