Abstract excerpt
The envelope protein encoded by the vaccinia virus A17L open reading frame is essential for virion assembly. Our mutagenesis studies indicated that cysteines 101 and 121 form an intramolecular disulfide bond and that cysteine 178 forms an intermolecular disulfide linking two A17L molecules. This arrangement of disulfide bonds has important implications for the topology of the A17L protein and supports a...
