Abstract excerpt
Most Mononegavirales viruses have a GDNQ motif within the L protein, whereas Novirhabdovirus species feature a GDNV motif. This study examined the function of the GDNV motif within the L protein of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) by modifying its amino acid composition. Substituting the aspartic acid (D) with valine (V) completely abolished polymerase activity in a minigenome assay. Replacing GDNV with...
