Site-directed mutagenesis of a conserved hexapeptide in the paramyxovirus hemagglutinin-neuraminidase glycoprotein: effects on antigenic structure and function
1 Aug 1994
Abstract excerpt
The sequence NRKSCS constitutes the longest linear stretch in the amino acid sequence of the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein of the paramyxoviruses that is completely conserved among all viruses in the group. We have used site-directed mutagenesis and expression of the mutated HN protein of one member of the group, Newcastle disease virus, to explore the role of this highly conserved sequence in the...
