  • Identification and analysis of vaccinia virus acylproteins

    Creator:
    Hansen, Scott G.
    Abstract:
    Vaccinia virus (VV) encodes at least six proteins that are modified by the addition of a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid through an amide linkage and at least eight proteins that are modified post-translationally by the addition of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid through linkage to cysteine residues. These post-translational modifications...

  • Fatty acylation of Vaccinia virus proteins : dual myristylation and palmitylation of the A-type inclusion protein

    Creator:
    Martin, Karen H.
    Abstract:
    The attachment of myristic acid to the N-terminal glycine residue of many eukaryotic and viral proteins is often essential for the acquisition of the protein's biological activity. Vaccinia virus (VV), the prototype member of the Poxviridae, expresses several myristylated proteins during the course of infection. Only one of these proteins,...
