Abstract excerpt
The assembly and budding of Sindbis virus, a prototypic member of the alphavirus subgroup in the family Togaviridae, requires a specific interaction between the nucleocapsid core and the membrane-embedded glycoproteins E1 and E2. These glycoproteins are modified posttranslationally by the addition of palmitic acid, and inhibitors of acylation interfere with this budding process (M.J. Schlesinger and C. Malfer, J....
