abstract：:The alphavirus-like mRNA capping enzyme of Bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV) exhibits an AdoMet-dependent guanylyltransferase activity by which the methyl group of AdoMet is transferred to GTP, leading to the formation of m(7)GTP, and the m(7)GMP moiety is next transferred to the 5' end of ppRNA via a covalent enzyme-m(7)GMP...
