Engineered picornavirus VPg-RNA substrates: analysis of a tyrosyl-RNA phosphodiesterase activity.

Using poliovirus, the prototypic member of Picornaviridae, we have further characterized a host cell enzymatic activity found in uninfected cells, termed "unlinkase," that recognizes and cleaves the unique 5' tyrosyl-RNA phosphodiester bond found at the 5' end of picornavirus vir...
