Functions of the C-Terminal Domain of Varicella-Zoster Virus Glycoprotein E in Viral Replication In Vitro and Skin and T-Cell Tropism In Vivo
26 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) glycoprotein E (gE) is essential for VZV replication. To further analyze the functions of gE in VZV replication, a full deletion and point mutations were made in the 62-amino-acid (aa) C-terminal domain. Targeted mutations were introduced in YAGL (aa 582 to 585), which mediates gE endocytosis, AYRV (aa 568 to 571), which targets gE to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), and SSTT, an "acid...
