- Furthermore, functional studies revealed that the restriction of avian influenza polymerases in mammals is due to a general defect in RNA-replication and not transcription. (uni-marburg.de)
- This suggests that phosphorylation may regulate the polymerisation state and RNA binding of nucleoprotein in the infected cell. (prolekare.cz)
