- Virus-Cell Interactions | SpotlightPhosphorylation of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 L2 Contributes to Efficient Virus Infectious Entry
The papillomavirus L2 capsid protein plays an essential role in infectious entry, where it directs the successful trafficking of incoming viral genomes to the nucleus. However, nothing is known about how potential posttranslational modifications may affect different aspects of capsid assembly or infectious entry. In this study, we report the first phospho-specific modification of the BPV-1 and HPV-16 L2 capsid proteins. The phospho-...
