Thermostable properties of the equine infectious anemia virus nucleocapsid protein NCp11

Retroviral nucleocapsid (NC) proteins are multifunctional nucleic acid binding proteins, playing critical roles in essentially every step of the viral replication cycle. As a small, basic protein, NC contains one or two highly conserved zinc-finger domains, each having an invariant CCHC motif, flanked by basic residues. In this study, we report for the first time, to our knowledge, the thermostable property of equine infectious anemia virus...
