Abstract excerpt
The fusion (F) protein of human parainfluenza virus type 3 contains the tribasic cleavage site R-T-K-R, which was altered by site-directed mutagenesis. Wild-type F protein and various mutants were expressed by recombinant vaccinia viruses. The endogenous endoprotease present in CV-1 cells cleaves F variants containing the furin recognition motif R-X-K/R-R but not variants containing the dibasic site K-R or a...
