Membrane Glycoproteins of Enveloped Viruses 2008-05-30 .txt text/plain 14149 684 43 Other advantages of enveloped viruses in studies of membrane structure and biogenesis include the ease of biosynthetic labeling of viruses grown in cell culture with specific radioactive precursors and the availability of mutants in defined gene products, some of which are proving to be useful in the analysis of viral membrane assembly. Apart from minor differences in carbohydrates of glycoproteins, virion proteins are indistinguishable when the virus is propagated in a variety of cells; therefore there appears to be little or no determining influence of viral proteins on the composition of the lipid bilayer. Based upon the estimated carbohydrate content (12,000 daltons) of the HA glycoprotein obtained by Laver (1971) and Schwarz and Klenk (1974) and the size estimates of the type I and I1 glycopeptides of influenza virus grown in MDBK cells, it was estimated that HA, contains a single type I glycopeptide whereas HA, possesses two type I and one or two type I1 oligosaccharide side-chains for the WSN strain (Nakamura and Com pans, 1978b) . ./cache/cord-020714-h1fevqcw.txt ./txt/cord-020714-h1fevqcw.txt
