Disease relevance of Cystoviridae

 

High impact information on Cystoviridae

  • Thus, P4 proteins of Cystoviridae exhibit extensive similarity to hexameric helicases and are simple models for studying viral packaging motor mechanisms [3].
  • Based on these and earlier observations, we propose a model of transcriptional polarity in Cystoviridae controlled on two independent levels: Pol affinity to plus-strand initiation sites and accessibility of these sites to the Pol in a single-stranded form [4].
  • The packaging of genomic RNA in members of the Cystoviridae is performed by P4, a hexameric protein with NTPase activity [5].
