The function and location of mutated residues were predicted based on the sequence alignment with the SF1 helicase from tomato mosaic virus (50).
The ATPase and ssRNA binding activities were determined relative to that of the wild type, which was set as 100%. Values are means ± standard deviations (n = 3).
ND, not determined.
