ENVELOPE GLYCOPROTEIN FROM TICK-BORNE ENCEPHALITIS VIRUS
Overview
The crystallographically determined structure of a soluble fragment from, the major envelope protein of a flavivirus reveals an unusual, architecture. The flat, elongated dimer extends in a direction that would, be parallel to the viral membrane. Residues that influence binding of, monoclonal antibodies lie on the outward-facing surface of the protein., The clustering of mutations that affect virulence in various flaviviruses, indicates a possible receptor binding site and, together with other, mutational and biochemical data, suggests a picture for the, fusion-activating, conformational change triggered by low pH.
