Amino acid substitutions in ZBD or the adjacent 'spacer' that connects it to the downstream domain can profoundly affect EAV helicase activity and RNA synthesis, with most replacements of conserved Cys or His residues yielding replicationnegative virus phenotypes (36, 37) . Thus, our study not only highlights how nidovirus helicase activity depends on the extensive relay of interactions between the ZBD, accessory and HEL1 domains but also provides a framework to propose and explore a role for the enzyme in the posttranscriptional quality control of nidovirus RNAs. Nsp10 of the EAV-Bucyrus isolate (NCBI Reference Sequence NC_002532) is composed of amino acids 2371-2837 of replicase pp1ab, which will throughout this study be referred to as nsp10 residues 1-467. ./cache/cord-302895-471zei5o.txt ./txt/cord-302895-471zei5o.txt
