ID: 1j9zmuub_40
Snippet: Filovirus GP 2 contains an N-terminal internal fusion loop of 45 residues defined by a disulfide linkage between cysteines 511 and 556 [3, 7] . A core hydrophobic sequence of 16 amino acids within this loop is thought to insert into host endosomal membranes, initiating membrane fusion events. Within the intact GP heterodimer, the hydrophobic, internal fusion loop is flanked by antiparallel β-strands composed of the most N-terminal portion of the.....
Document: Filovirus GP 2 contains an N-terminal internal fusion loop of 45 residues defined by a disulfide linkage between cysteines 511 and 556 [3, 7] . A core hydrophobic sequence of 16 amino acids within this loop is thought to insert into host endosomal membranes, initiating membrane fusion events. Within the intact GP heterodimer, the hydrophobic, internal fusion loop is flanked by antiparallel β-strands composed of the most N-terminal portion of the internal fusion loop and the N-terminal region of first heptad repeat region. The fusion loop is restrained by GP 1 residues from a neighboring subunit, preventing premature fusion events [3, 7, 90] . Cathepsin-dependent processing alone is insufficient to trigger insertion of the fusion loop into liposomes [81, 91] .
