Abstract excerpt
The genetic complexity of vaccinia virus is such that as well as encoding its own transcription and replication machinery, it encodes two protein kinases and a protein phosphatase. The latter enzyme, designated VH1, is a prototype for the dual-specificity class of phosphatases. Here we report that the H1 phosphatase is encapsidated within vaccinia virions and describe the construction of a viral recombinant in...
