| Description | Translation of the arterivirus genome results in two large precursor polyproteins, pp1a and the C-terminally extended frameshift product pp1ab. These proteins are cleaved by up to four virus-encoded proteases to yield at least 13 nonstructural proteins (nsps) (nsp1 to nsp12, including nsp7) plus a substantial number of processing intermediates of unknown function. Nsp7 can be internally cleaved by the nsp4 protease, yielding small amounts of nsp7alpha and nsp7beta. This entry represents nsp7alpha, which is likely to have a role in viral RNA synthesis [ ]. |
