The Small Envelope Protein E Is Not Essential for Murine Coronavirus Replication
27 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
The importance of the small envelope (E) protein in the assembly of coronaviruses has been demonstrated in several studies. While its precise function is not clearly defined, E is a pivotal player in the morphogenesis of the virion envelope. Expression of the E protein alone results in its incorporation into vesicles that are released from cells, and the coexpression of the E protein with the membrane protein M...
