Nucleotide sequence of cDNA coding for Semliki Forest virus membrane glycoproteins

Abstract

The genes coding for the three membrane polypeptides of Semliki Forest virus have been sequenced and the primary structures of the proteins deduced. The amino acid sequence gives further insight into how the transmembrane structure of the three-chain virus membrane glycoprotein is generated in the infected cell.
