Abstract excerpt
The coat protein of the RNA bacteriophage MS2 interacts with viral RNA to translationally repress replicase synthesis. This protein-RNA interaction is also thought to play a role in genome encapsidation. In this study the strength of the interaction was perturbed by constructing a recombinant genome containing a super-repressing coat mutation. Because replicase synthesis is prematurely repressed, the mutant...
