Identification of conformational and cold-sensitive mutations in the MuLV envelope protein.
Virology - 1 Aug 2003
O'Reilly Lucille, Roth Monica J
Abstract excerpt
The structure and function of the C-terminal domain of the murine leukemia virus Surface protein (MuLV SU) is not well defined. Passage of chimeric ecotropic-amphotropic MuLV viruses with junctions within the SU C-terminus results in the selection of specific point mutations which improve virus viability and Env function. Point mutations were characterized that alter the conformation of the SU/TM heterodimers on...
