Functions of the viral chitinase (CHIA) in the processing, subcellular trafficking and cellular retention of proV-CATH from Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus

The baculovirus chitinase (CHIA) and cathepsin protease (V-CATH) enzymes cause terminal host insect liquefaction, thereby enhancing dissemination of progeny virions in nature. Regulated and delayed cellular release of these host tissue-degrading enzymes ensures liquefaction starts only after optimal...
