Abstract excerpt
Like other enveloped viruses, pestiviruses employ cellular proteases for processing of their structural proteins. While typical signal peptidase cleavage motifs are present at the carboxy terminus of the signal sequence preceding Erns and the E1/E2 and E2/P7 sites, the Erns-E1 precursor is cleaved by signal peptidase at a highly unusual structure, in which the transmembrane sequence upstream of the cleavage site...
