Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that a mutant of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (M-PMV), which has an amino acid substitution in the matrix (MA) protein at position 55, MA-R55W, showed altered viral morphogenesis, reduced glycoprotein incorporation, and loss of infectivity. In this report, we show that two additional amino acid substitutions at this site in MA, R55F and R55Y, also result in similar altered morphogenesis, Env...
