Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of positively charged amino acid residues for the Uukuniemi virus (UUKV) N protein functionality. Based on phlebovirus nucleocapsid (N) protein alignments and 3D-structure predictions of UUKV N protein, 14 positively charged residues were chosen as targets for the mutagenesis. The impact of mutations to the N protein functionality was analyzed using...
