a

A critical determinant for PLP processing as determined by mutagenesis studies.

b

In vitro transcription-translation studies indicate that both PLP1 and PLP2 can cleave at this site. Critical determinants have not been identified.

c

A revised alignment study indicates that the domain previously referred to as IBV PLPD has an inactive PLP1 domain and an active PLP2 domain (43).

d

The arrow indicates where the polyprotein is cleaved.
