Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) encodes a unique serine proteinase that is required in the maturation of the viral capsid. The CMV proteinase can undergo autocatalytic activation and is subject to proteolytic self-inactivation. Mutant enzyme forms were prepared to eliminate the initial autoprocessing site and thus form an active single-chain protein for structure-function studies. Two mutants of CMV proteinase were...
