Conserved glycine residues in the fusion peptide of the paramyxovirus fusion protein regulate activation of the native state.

Abstract excerpt

Hydrophobic fusion peptides (FPs) are the most highly conserved regions of class I viral fusion-mediating glycoproteins (vFGPs). FPs often contain conserved glycine residues thought to be critical for forming structures that destabilize target membranes. Unexpectedly, a mutation of glycine residu...
