Abstract excerpt
Three potential AG*X cleavage sites have previously been identified in vaccinia virus (VV) P4a precursor, namely AG*N, AG*S and AG*T. Utilization of the COOH-proximal AG*T site in P4a leads to release of a 23 kDa product ('23K'). Here we propose that cleavage at the AG*S site alone is responsible for release of 4a, based on peptide mapping and microsequencing which demonstrated that the NH2 terminus of 4a is...
