📢Astrovirus polyprotein processing is finally uncovered - these viruses use peculiar dual cleavage sites around their protease! Led by a talented PhD student, David Noyvert, this work provides a map of astrovirus genomes. Great collaboration with @emmottlab.bsky.social @leandroxneves.bsky.social
Positive-sense RNA viruses often encode large polyproteins that are proteolytically processed by viral and host proteases into functional replication proteins. Astroviruses infect intestinal and neuro...
