The role of myristoylation in the membrane association of the Lassa virus matrix protein Z.

Virology journal - 5 Nov 2006

Strecker Thomas, Maisa Anna, Daffis Stephane, Eichler Robert, Lenz Oliver, Garten Wolfgang

Abstract excerpt

The Z protein is the matrix protein of arenaviruses and has been identified as the main driving force for budding. Both LCMV and Lassa virus Z proteins bud from cells in the absence of other viral proteins as enveloped virus-like particles. Z accumulates near the inner surface of the plasma membrane where budding takes place. Furthermore, biochemical data have shown that Z is strongly membrane associated. The...
