Essential Role of Dengue Virus Envelope Protein N Glycosylation at Asparagine-67 during Viral Propagation
26 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
Dengue virus envelope protein (E) contains two N-linked glycosylation sites, at Asn-67 and Asn-153. The glycosylation site at position 153 is conserved in most flaviviruses, while the site at position 67 is thought to be unique for dengue viruses. N-linked oligosaccharide side chains on flavivirus E proteins have been associated with viral morphogenesis, infectivity, and tropism. Here, we examined the relevance...
