Abstract excerpt
The enterovirus 2B protein contains a putative amphipathic alpha-helix that includes three positively charged and one negatively charged residue. Previously, we observed that replacement of the glutamic acid-40 residue with a lysine residue (mutation 2B-E[40]K) in the amphipathic alpha-helix of the coxsackie B3 virus 2B protein resulted in a quasi-infectious phenotype. On one occasion, however, transfection of...
