An Absolutely Conserved Tryptophan in the Stem of the Envelope Protein E of Flaviviruses Is Essential for the Formation of Stable Particles
The major envelope protein E of flaviviruses contains an ectodomain that is connected to the transmembrane domain by the so-called “stem” region. In mature flavivirus particles, the stem is composed of two or three mostly amphipathic α-helices and a conserved sequence element (CS) with an undefined...
