A Single Codon in the Nucleocapsid Protein C Terminus Contributes to In Vitro and In Vivo Fitness of Edmonston Measles Virus

Abstract excerpt

The major inducible 70-kDa heat shock protein (hsp72) increases measles virus (MV) transcription and genome replication. This stimulatory effect is attributed to hsp72 interaction with two highly conserved hydrophobic domains in the nucleocapsid protein (N) C terminus of Edmonston MV. These domains are known as Box-2 and Box-3. A single amino acid substitution in Box-3 of Edmonston MV (i.e., N522D) disrupts hsp72...
