Abstract excerpt
Cleavage of the rotavirus spike protein, VP4, is required for rotavirus-induced membrane permeability and viral entry into cells. The VP5* cleavage product selectively permeabilizes membranes and liposomes and contains an internal hydrophobic domain that is required for membrane permeability. Here we investigate VP5* domains (residues 248 to 474) that direct membrane binding. We determined that expressed VP5...
