gb virus c/hepatitis g virus envelope glycoprotein e2: computational molecular features and immunoinformatics study
conclusions the comprehensive analysis of a protein with important roles has never been easy, and in case of e2 envelope glycoprotein of hgv, there is no much data on its molecular and immunological features, clinical significance and its pathogenic potential in hepatitis or any other gbv-c related diseases. so, results of the present study may explain some structural, physiological and immunol...
متن کاملGB Virus C/Hepatitis G Virus Envelope Glycoprotein E2: Computational Molecular Features and Immunoinformatics Study
INTRODUCTION GB virus C (GBV-C) or hepatitis G virus (HGV) is an enveloped, RNA positive-stranded flavivirus-like particle. E2 envelope protein of GBV-C plays an important role in virus entry into the cytosol, genotyping and as a marker for diagnosing GBV-C infections. Also, there is discussion on relations between E2 protein and gp41 protein of HIV. The purposes of our study are to multi aspec...
متن کاملIdentification of Aptamer-Binding Sites in Hepatitis C Virus Envelope Glycoprotein E2
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) encodes two envelope glycoproteins, E1 and E2. Our previous work selected a specific aptamer ZE2, which could bind to E2 with high affinity, with a great potential for developing new molecular probes as an early diagnostic reagents or therapeutic drugs targeting HCV. In this study, the binding sites between E2 and aptamer ZE2 were further explored. E2 was truncated to 15...
متن کاملCharacterization of an immunodominant antigenic site on GB virus C glycoprotein E2 that is involved in cell binding.
GB virus type C (GBV-C) is a human flavivirus that may cause persistent infection, although most infected individuals clear viremia and develop antibodies to the envelope glycoprotein E2. To study GBV-C E2 antigenicity and cell binding, murine anti-E2 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were evaluated to topologically map immunogenic sites on GBV-C E2 and for the ability to detect or block recombinant...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of intracellular and secreted forms of a truncated hepatitis C virus E2 glycoprotein.
The E2 protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is believed to be a virion surface glycoprotein that is a candidate for inclusion in an antiviral vaccine. A truncated soluble version of E2 has recently been shown to interact with CD81, suggesting that this protein may be a component of the receptor for HCV. When expressed in eukaryotic cells, a significant proportion of E2 forms misfolded aggregates....
