Amino-terminal precursor sequence modulates canine distemper virus fusion protein function.
Journal of virology - 1 May 2002
von Messling Veronika, Cattaneo Roberto
Abstract excerpt
The fusion (F) proteins of most paramyxoviruses are classical type I glycoproteins with a short hydrophobic leader sequence closely following the translation initiation codon. The predicted reading frame of the canine distemper virus (CDV) F protein is more complex, with a short hydrophobic sequence beginning 115 codons downstream of the first AUG. To verify if the sequence between the first AUG and the...
