Signal peptide of HIV envelope protein impacts glycosylation and antigenicity of gp120
20 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
The HIV-1 envelope protein (Env) of early-replicating viruses encodes several distinct transmission signatures. One such signature involves a reduced number of potential N-linked glycosylation sites (PNGs). This transmission signature underscores the importance of posttranslational modifications in the fitness of early-replicating isolates. An additional signature in Env involves the overrepresentation of basic...
