摘要: Publisher Summary Filoviral glycoproteins are encoded by gene 4 (GP gene) of the nonsegmented negative-strand RNA genome. Nonstructural glycoprotein (sGP) as well Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburgvirus (MBGV) GP undergo several posttranslational processing steps giving rise to a whole series different glycoproteins. Comparison sequences Marburg shows conservation at amino-terminal carboxy-terminal ends, whereas middle region is variable. can be subdivided into large ectodomain, lipid membrane-spanning domain approximately 30 amino acids, short cytoplasmic tail 8 respectively. Sequence comparison has revealed striking similarities between GP2 filoviruses transmembrane retroviruses. According data, contains hydrophobic fusion peptide distance 22 or 91 acids from terminus. Between domain, which flanked two cysteines, there amphipathic helices separated CX6CC motif. It indicated that maturation release in membrane-bound form does not depend on other viral proteins.
