Abstract:
The individual nucleocapsid proteins of phytorhabdovirus of curly potato dwarf were isolated: N-protein (m. w. 56 kDa), NS-protein (m. w. 49 kDa), L-protein (m. w. 128 kDa). It was establish that L and NS proteins displayed enzyme activity in the replication, phosphorylation and adenylation systems in vitro. Major N protein (m. w. 56 kDa) did not show the enzyme activity in these systems. The revelation of RNA-polymerase, poly(A)-polymerase and proteinkinase activities of nucleocapsid proteins are characteristic of the viruses belonging to the Rhabdoviridae family.
