Disease relevance of phi-6L_3

RNA packaging device of double-stranded RNA bacteriophages, possibly as simple as hexamer of P4 protein [1].
Thus, P4 proteins of Cystoviridae exhibit extensive similarity to hexameric helicases and are simple models for studying viral packaging motor mechanisms [1].
Here we characterize the P4 protein from bacteriophage phi12 and exploit its purine nucleotide specificity to delineate P4 role in transcription [2].
