In contrast to the wild type Sendai virus fusion protein (F), a mutated F to possess a cleavage site similar to that of virulent Newcastle disease virus F, could be cleaved by proteases present in COS cells. When mutated F and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) were coexpressed at the cell surface, syncytium formation was observed.
与野生型仙台病毒融合蛋白(F)相比,一种经过突变、具有与强毒性新城疫病毒F相似切割位点的F蛋白,可被COS细胞中存在的蛋白酶切割。当突变的F蛋白和血凝素-神经氨酸酶(HN)在细胞表面共表达时,可观察到合胞体形成。
