Abstract excerpt
Plant viruses from the Potyviridae family have a significant impact on crop productivity worldwide. We conducted a bioinformatic analysis of the VPg sequences from several members of the Potyviridae family. All analyzed primary structures of VPg contain an invariant arginine, which, according to the model we proposed earlier, is located in the functionally important α1-α2 hairpin of the viral protein and forms a...
