Rethinking the capsid proteins of enveloped viruses: multifunctionality from genome packaging to genome transfection
24 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
Regardless of the debate on whether there is a place for viruses in the tree of life, it is consensual that they co-evolve with their hosts under the pressure of genome minimization. The abundance of multifunctional viral structural proteins is a consequence of this pressure. The molecular key to multifunctionality is the existence of intrinsically disordered domains together with ordered domains in the same...
