Identification of a region in the Sindbis virus nucleocapsid protein that is involved in specificity of RNA encapsidation
1 May 1996
Abstract excerpt
The specific encapsidation of genomic RNA by an alphavirus requires recognition of the viral RNA by the nucleocapsid protein. In an effort to identify individual residues of the Sindbis virus nucleocapsid protein which are essential for this recognition event, a molecular genetic analysis of a domain of the protein previously suggested to be involved in RNA binding in vitro was undertaken. The experiments...
