FIG. 1.

Diagram of insertion sites in VSV G. VSV G is shown as a linear molecule inserted into the lipid bilayer. The relative positions of the six insertion sites are shown and numbered by the amino acid after which ELDKWA was inserted. The two N-linked glycosylation sites are indicated by the Ψ symbol. The computer-aligned (DNAstar; Megalign program) sequences of five serotypes of vesiculovirus G proteins around the permissive 191 site (Indiana [IND], New Jersey [NJ], Chandipura [Chandi], Cocal, and Piry) are shown. Gaps introduced into the sequences to maximize sequence alignment are indicated by dashes. The single conserved cysteine in the region is shown boxed. Abbreviations: SS, signal sequence; ECTO, ectodomain; CYT, cytoplasmic domain.
