Assembly of coronavirus spike protein into trimers and its role in epitope expression
1 Nov 1990
Abstract excerpt
The folding and oligomerization of coronavirus spike protein were explored using a panel of monoclonal antibodies. Chemical cross-linking and sedimentation experiments showed that the spike of transmissible gastroenteritis virus is a homotrimer of the S membrane glycoprotein. The spike protein was synthesized as a 175,000-apparent-molecular-weight (175K) monomer subunit that is sensitive to...
