Assembly of African swine fever virus: role of polyprotein pp220
1 Mar 1997
Abstract excerpt
Polyprotein processing is a common strategy of gene expression in many positive-strand RNA viruses and retroviruses but not in DNA viruses. African swine fever virus (ASFV) is an exception because it encodes a polyprotein, named pp220, to produce several major components of the virus particle, proteins p150, p37, p34, and p14. In this study, we analyzed the assembly pathway of ASFV and the contribution of the...
