Abstract excerpt
The Sindbis virus envelope protein spike is a hetero-oligomeric complex composed of a trimer of glycoprotein E1-E2 heterodimers. Spike assembly is a multistep process which occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is required for the export of E1 from the ER. PE2 (precursor to E2), however, can transit through the secretory pathway and be expressed at the cell surface in the absence of E1. Although oligomer...
