Abstract excerpt
Two replicase (Rep) proteins, Rep and Rep', are encoded by porcine circovirus (PCV) ORF1; Rep is a full ORF1 transcript, and Rep' is a truncated transcript generated by splicing. These two proteins are crucial for the rolling-circle replication (RCR) of PCV. The N-terminal sequences of Rep and Rep' are identical and interact to form homo- or heterodimers. The three types of dimers perform different functions...
