Abstract excerpt
We have previously demonstrated that the release of hepatitis E virus (HEV) from infected cells depended on ORF3 protein, which harbours one or two PSAP motifs. To elucidate the PSAP motif(s) in the ORF3 protein during virion egress, five PSAP mutants derived from an infectious genotype 3 cDNA clone of pJE03-1760F/wt that can grow efficiently in PLC/PRF/5 cells were analysed. Four mutants, including mutLSAP,...
