Attenuation of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus by Structure-Based Site-Specific Mutagenesis of a Putative Flavivirus Receptor Binding Site
15 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
The impact of a specific region of the envelope protein E of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus on the biology of this virus was investigated by a site-directed mutagenesis approach. The four amino acid residues that were analyzed in detail (E308 to E311) are located on the upper-lateral surface of domain III according to the X-ray structure of the TBE virus protein E and are part of an area that is considered...
