Abstract excerpt
It has been widely documented that the nucleocapsid protein p12 (NC) of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) has a role in the encapsidation and maturation of the virus genomic RNA during particle formation, and particularly important appear to be the Cys-His motifs of this protein. Since some retroviruses only have one such motif, we have investigated the significance of the two distinct Cys-His motifs of RSV NC. The...
