To determine whether nsp1 is required for MHV replication and to identify residues critical for protein function, mutant viruses that contained deletions or point mutations within the nsp1-coding region were generated and assayed for defects in viral replication, viral protein expression, protein localization, and RNA synthesis. Mutagenesis of the murine hepatitis virus nsp1-coding region identifies residues important for protein processing, viral RNA synthesis, and viral replication Experiments were next performed to determine if viral gene expression occurred in cells electroporated with RNA for mutants that did not produce infectious virus (VUSB5, VUSB6, nsp1DFL, and nsp1DMid). ./cache/cord-268139-tgpsu4qz.txt ./txt/cord-268139-tgpsu4qz.txt
