Tick-borne Encephalitis Virus Envelope Glycoprotein (None)

Target
None
Molecular classification
Viral protein, Envelope glycoprotein
01

Overview

The envelope glycoprotein (E protein) of the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is the major surface protein and a critical component of the mature virion. It plays essential roles in viral entry, membrane fusion, receptor binding, and induction of protective immunity. The E glycoprotein consists of 496 amino acid residues organized into four domains: Domain I (central β-barrel), Domain II (elongated/fusion loop/dimerization interface), Domain III (Ig-like fold), and the Stem-anchor region. It is glycosylated at Asn154. The E protein mediates attachment to host cell receptors and triggers low-pH-induced fusion between viral and endosomal membranes. It undergoes conformational changes ("virus breathing") influencing antibody accessibility and is a major target for neutralizing antibodies.
