Identification of Human Astrovirus Genome-Linked Protein (VPg) Essential for Virus Infectivity
12 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Viral genome-linked proteins (VPgs) have been identified in several single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus families. The presence of such protein in the family Astroviridae has not been fully elucidated, although a putative VPg coding region in open reading frame 1a (ORF1a) of astrovirus with high amino acid sequence similarity to the VPg coding region of Caliciviridae has been previously identified. In this...
