HCV envelope protein function is dependent on the peptides preceding the glycoproteins.

Abstract excerpt

Although significant advances have been made on the studies of HCV glycoproteins (E1 and E2) recently, the role of the peptides preceding each glycoprotein remains unclear. We expressed E1 and E2 using two individual plasmids to form HCV pseudoparticles (HCVpp) in order to characterize the peptides preceding E1 and E2. Our data show that 14 amino acids from the HCV core and 12 amino acids from the E1 C-terminus...
