Abstract excerpt
Pestiviruses, a group of enveloped positive strand RNA viruses belonging to the family Flaviviridae, express their genes via a polyprotein that is subsequently processed by proteases. The structural protein region contains typical signal peptidase cleavage sites. Only the site at the C terminus of the glycoprotein E(rns) is different because it does not contain a hydrophobic transmembrane region but an...
