Nucleoprotein viral RNA and mRNA of Thogoto virus: a novel "cap-stealing" mechanism in tick-borne orthomyxoviruses?
1 Dec 1996
Abstract excerpt
Tick-borne Thogoto virus (THOV) represents the prototype virus of a new genus in the Orthomyxoviridae family. Its genome consists of six segments of negative-sense, single-stranded RNA. We have cloned and sequenced the fifth genomic segment, which codes for the viral nucleoprotein (NP). The deduced amino acid sequence shows 43% similarity to the NP of Dhori virus, a related tick-transmitted orthomyxovirus, and...
