Abstract excerpt
The vaccinia virus early transcription factor (VETF) is a DNA binding protein comprised of 70- and 82-kDa subunits encoded by the D6R and A8L genes, respectively. A previous investigation suggested a novel role for the 70-kDa subunit in the morphogenesis of vaccinia virus particles. The principal objectives of the present study were to determine if the 82-kDa subunit of VETF is also required for morphogenesis...
