Abstract excerpt
We have recently shown, using cleavage-deficient mutants of the p62-E1 membrane protein complex of Semliki Forest virus that p62 cleavage to E2 is necessary for the activation of the fusion function of the complex at pH 5.8 (a pH optimal for virus fusion) (M. Lobigs and H. Garoff, J. Virol. 64:1233-1240, 1990). In this study, we show that the mutant precursor complexes can be induced to activate membrane fusion...
