Acylation of the Marburg Virus Glycoprotein

Virology, 1995
The surface protein of Marburg virus (GP) is modified by acylation, as shown by labeling with [3H]myristic and [3H]palmitic acid. Acylation of GP also occurred when it was expressed in insect cells with the baculovirus expression system. Gas chromatographic analyses of the bound fatty acids indicated that exogenously added [3H]myristic acid was partly ...
