Snippet: Additionally, the expression of the pr protein also successfully inhibited virus fusion at low pH and stopped viral infection [146] . Approximately 81-85% inhibition was achieved at 30 µM. Data indicated that the pr peptide interacted with a highly conserved histidine (H244) because the substitution of H244 to alanine had led to the disruption of the pr-E interaction [146] . This disruption could have resulted in a distorted E conformation, ther.....
Document: Additionally, the expression of the pr protein also successfully inhibited virus fusion at low pH and stopped viral infection [146] . Approximately 81-85% inhibition was achieved at 30 µM. Data indicated that the pr peptide interacted with a highly conserved histidine (H244) because the substitution of H244 to alanine had led to the disruption of the pr-E interaction [146] . This disruption could have resulted in a distorted E conformation, therefore interfering the pH-triggered fusion reaction in the endosome. Further optimization could be carried out using truncated pr peptides to identify the amino acid residues that are essential to block viral infection.
