Myristylation of Rotavirus Proteins

Ulrich Desselberger

Institute of Virology, University of Glasgow, Church Street, Glasgow G11 5JR, U.K.

After labelling with [³H]myristic acid during replication the structural proteins VP6 and VP2 of purified rotavirus particles were found to be myristylated in an amide bond. [³H]Palmitic acid was converted to myristic acid before bonding to the viral proteins. Possible functions of rotavirus protein myristylation are discussed.

Keywords: myristylation, rotavirus, structural proteins
