Abstract excerpt
Polyprotein processing has an important regulatory role in the life cycle of positive-strand RNA viruses. In the case of alphaviruses, sequential cleavage of the nonstructural polyprotein (ns-polyprotein) at three sites eventually yields four mature nonstructural proteins (nsPs) that continue working in complex to replicate viral genomic RNA and transcribe subgenomic RNA. Recognition of cleavage sites by viral...
