A Fijivirus Major Viroplasm Protein Shows RNA-Stimulated ATPase Activity by Adopting Pentameric and Hexameric Assemblies of Dimers [PDF]
mBio, 2023 Fijiviruses replicate and package their genomes within viroplasms in a process involving RNA-RNA and RNA-protein interactions. Here, we demonstrate that the 24 C-terminal residues (C-arm) of the P9-1 major viroplasm protein of the mal de Río Cuarto virus
