Abstract excerpt
Flavivirus NS3 and NS5 are required in viral replication and 5'-capping. NS3 has NS2B-dependent protease, RNA helicase, and 5'-RNA triphosphatase activities. NS5 has 5'-RNA methyltransferase (MT)/guanylyltransferase (GT) activities within the N-terminal 270 amino acids and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (POL) activity within amino acids 271-900. A chimeric NS5 containing the D4MT/D4GT and the D2POL domains in...
