Arterivirus nsp12 versus the coronavirus nsp16 2′-O-methyltransferase: comparison of the C-terminal cleavage products of two nidovirus pp1ab polyproteins
4 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
The 3'-terminal domain of the most conserved ORF1b in three of the four families of the order Nidovirales (except for the family Arteriviridae) encodes a (putative) 2'-O-methyltransferase (2'-O-MTase), known as non structural protein (nsp) 16 in the family Coronaviridae and implicated in methylation of the 5' cap structure of nidoviral mRNAs. As with coronavirus transcripts, arterivirus mRNAs are assumed to...
