Abstract excerpt
The Lassa virus glycoprotein consists of an ectodomain, a transmembrane anchor, and a cytoplasmic domain. It is synthesized as an inactive precursor and cleaved within the ectodomain to yield the mature form. Here, we show that this maturation cleavage can be abolished by mutation of single conserved amino acids within the cytoplasmic domain at the carboxy-terminus of the glycoprotein. Moreover, substitutions and...
