Infectious Bursal Disease Virus VP5 Polypeptide: A Phosphoinositide-Binding Protein Required for Efficient Cell-to-Cell Virus Dissemination
17 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), a member of the Birnaviridae family, is a major avian pathogen responsible for an immunosuppressive disease affecting juvenile chickens. The IBDV genome is formed by two dsRNA segments. The largest one harbors two partially overlapping open reading frames encoding a non-structural polypeptide, known as VP5, and a large polyprotein, respectively. VP5 is non-essential for...
