Attenuation of Human Enterovirus 71 High-Replication-Fidelity Variants in AG129 Mice
13 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: In a screen for ribavirin resistance, a novel high-fidelity variant of human enterovirus 71 (EV71) with the single amino acid change L123F in its RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp or 3D) was identified. Based on the crystal structure of EV71 RdRp, L123 locates at the entrance of the RNA template binding channel, which might form a fidelity checkpoint. EV71 RdRp-L123F variants generated less progeny...
