a

The function and location of mutated residues were predicted based on the sequence alignment with the SF1 helicase from tomato mosaic virus (50).

b

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).

c

ND, not determined.
