Abstract excerpt
The Semliki Forest virus-specific nonstructural protein nsP2 is transported into the nuclei of both infected and transfected BHK cells. The pentapeptide sequence P 648R RRV is an essential part of the nuclear localization signal (NLS) of nsP2, the middle arginine being the most critical residue for nuclear targeting. Host DNA and RNA syntheses are rapidly inhibited in virus-infected cells, and nsP2 could be...
