Abstract excerpt
Viroporins compose a group of small hydrophobic transmembrane proteins that can form hydrophilic pores through lipid bilayers. Viroporins have been implicated in promoting virus release from infected cells and in affecting cellular functions including protein trafficking and membrane permeability. Nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) of bluetongue virus has been shown previously to be important for efficient release of...
