2A and 2A-like Sequences: Distribution in Different Virus Species and Applications in Biotechnology
26 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
2A is an oligopeptide sequence that mediates a ribosome "skipping" effect and can mediate a co-translation cleavage of polyproteins. These sequences are widely distributed from insect to mammalian viruses and could act by accelerating adaptive capacity. These sequences have been used in many heterologous co-expression systems because they are versatile tools for cleaving proteins of biotechnological interest. In...
