Phenotypic characterization of mutants in vaccinia virus gene G2R, a putative transcription elongation factor.

Journal of virology - 1 Jan 1996

Black E P, Condit R C

Abstract excerpt

The phenotypic defects of two mutants of vaccinia virus, the lesions of which map to gene G2R, were characterized in vivo, and the results suggest a role for the G2R protein in viral transcription elongation. Both a temperature-sensitive mutant, Cts56, and an isatin-beta-thiosemicarbazone-depende...
