FIG. 12.

Amino acid sequence comparison of the lyssavirus M proteins that were introduced into the recombinant viruses SAD RABVM, SAD EBLV-1 M, and SAD EBLV-2 M. Amino acids in EBLV-1 M and EBLV-2 M that diverged from RABV M are indicated by lowercase letters. Positively charged amino acids within the N-terminal region are highlighted in blue. Amino acids that are involved in M self-association are highlighted in gray. A short region that is not detected in the structure of Lagos bat virus M is marked by a red box. A methionine residue in EBLV-1 M, which was mutated in EBLV-1Mpass, is highlighted in red.
