Fatty acid acylation is not required for membrane fusion activity or glycoprotein assembly into VSV virions.

Virology - 1 Dec 1991

Whitt M A, Rose J K

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the role of fatty acid acylation on two properties of the glycoprotein (G protein) from the Indiana serotype of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Using a mutated G protein described previously (CS-2) that is not palmitylated, we found that fatty acid acylation was not required for the low pH-induced membrane fusion activity of VSV G protein. Transient expression of CS in HeLa cells resulted...
