Abstract excerpt
HVT063, an RNA-binding protein encoded by turkey herpesvirus, has been shown previously to suppress RNA silencing. Here, a scanning library produced by pentapeptide-insertion scanning mutagenesis was used to identify key residues associated with its RNA silencing suppressor (RSS) activity. Forty-two in-frame insertion mutants of HVT063 protein were evaluated for their RSS activity using the dual-luciferase...
