Three Amino Acid Mutations (F51L, T59A, and S390L) in the Capsid Protein of the Hepatitis E Virus Collectively Contribute to Virus Attenuation
31 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important but extremely understudied human pathogen, and the mechanisms of HEV replication and pathogenesis are largely unknown. We previously identified an attenuated genotype 3 HEV mutant (pSHEV-1) containing three unique amino acid mutations (F51L, T59A, and S390L) in the capsid protein. To determine the role of each of these mutations, we constructed three HEV single mutants...
