Late Domain Function Identified in the Vesicular Stomatitis Virus M Protein by Use of Rhabdovirus-Retrovirus Chimeras
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the mechanisms used by enveloped viruses to separate themselves from the cell surface at the final step of budding. However, small sequences in the Gag proteins of several retroviruses (L domains) have been implicated in this process. A sequence has been identified in the M proteins of rhabdoviruses that closely resembles the PPPPY motif in the L domain of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), an avian...
