Exceptional flexibility in the sequence requirements for coronavirus small envelope protein function.
The small envelope protein (E) plays a role of central importance in the assembly of coronaviruses. This was initially established by studies demonstrating that cellular expression of only E protein and the membrane protein (M) was necessary and sufficient for the generation and release of virus-like particles. To investigate the role of E protein in the whole virus, we previously generated E g...
متن کاملEnvelope protein palmitoylations are crucial for murine coronavirus assembly.
The coronavirus assembly process encloses a ribonucleoprotein genome into vesicles containing the lipid-embedded proteins S (spike), E (envelope), and M (membrane). This process depends on interactions with membranes that may involve palmitoylation, a common posttranslational lipidation of cysteine residues. To determine whether specific palmitoylations influence coronavirus assembly, we introd...
متن کاملImportance of conserved cysteine residues in the coronavirus envelope protein.
Coronavirus envelope (E) proteins play an important, not fully understood role(s) in the virus life cycle. All E proteins have conserved cysteine residues located on the carboxy side of the long hydrophobic domain, suggesting functional significance. In this study, we confirmed that mouse hepatitis coronavirus A59 E protein is palmitoylated. To understand the role of the conserved residues and ...

بیماری جاروک لیموترش توسط candidatus phytoplasma aurantifolia ایجاد شده و یکی از مخرب ترین بیماری های لیموترش در مناطق گرم جنوبی کشور به شمار می رود و سالیانه هزاران درخت را نابود می کند. روش های قدیمی از قبیل حذف درختان آلوده و کنترل حشره ناقل قابلیت محدودی در مدیریت بیماری دارند. امروزه بیوتکنولوژی مولکولی روش های جدید و موثری برای کنترل بیمارگرها در گیاهان فراهم کرده که امکان تولید گیاهان تر...
15 صفحه اولCharacterization of the coronavirus mouse hepatitis virus strain A59 small membrane protein E.
The small envelope (E) protein has recently been shown to play an essential role in the assembly of coronaviruses. Expression studies revealed that for formation of the viral envelope, actually only the E protein and the membrane (M) protein are required. Since little is known about this generally low-abundance virion component, we have characterized the E protein of mouse hepatitis virus strai...
