The PSAP Motif within the ORF3 Protein of an Avian Strain of the Hepatitis E Virus Is Not Critical for Viral Infectivity<i>In Vivo</i>but Plays a Role in Virus Release
23 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
The ORF3 protein of hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a multifunctional protein important for virus replication. The ORF3 proteins from human, swine, and avian strains of HEV contain a conserved PXXP amino acid motif, resembling either Src homology 3 (SH3) cell signaling interaction motifs or "late domains" involved in host cell interactions aiding in particle release. Using an avian strain of HEV, we determined the...
