Abstract excerpt
The cytoplasmic tail of the immature Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMuLV) envelope protein is approximately 32 amino acids long. During viral maturation, the viral protease cleaves this tail to release a 16-amino-acid R peptide, thereby rendering the envelope protein fusion competent. A series of truncations, deletions, and amino acid substitutions were constructed in this cytoplasmic tail to examine its role...
