Abstract excerpt
Vaccinia virus encodes a 37-kDa palmitylated protein (p37) that is required for envelopment, translocation, and cell-to-cell spread of virions. We have analyzed the biological significance of the palmitate modification by constructing a recombinant vaccinia virus that expresses a nonpalmitylated p37 and comparing its biological activity to that of the wild-type virus. The mutant virus is inefficient at...
