Abstract excerpt
The membrane glycoprotein (gp55) encoded by the env gene of Friend spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV) causes mitogenesis of infected erythroblasts and is inefficiently (3-5%) processed from the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) to plasma membranes. Recent evidence suggested that gp55 binds to erythropoietin receptors (EpoR) in the RER, and it was proposed that this intracellular interaction causes mitogenesis (Li,...
