A leucine zipper structure present in the measles virus fusion protein is not required for its tetramerization but is essential for fusion.

The Journal of general virology - 1 Jul 1992

Buckland R, Malvoisin E, Beauverger P, Wild F

Abstract excerpt

The biological role of a leucine zipper motif present in the measles virus fusion (F) protein has been investigated. This motif is present in all paramyxovirus F proteins, all coronavirus spike proteins and many if not all retrovirus envelope proteins. By analogy to its role in certain transcription factors, it has been suggested that the motif may be responsible for the oligomerization of these viral membrane...
