From: Proteomics computational analyses suggest that the bornavirus glycoprotein is a class III viral fusion protein (γ penetrene)

Figure 3

Model of BDV G based on the X-ray crystallographic structure of VSV G. The predicted structures of BDV G was fit to the post-fusion structure of VSV G [30]. The post fusion secondary structure of VSV G as solved by Roche and coworkers [30] is depicted with α-helices as cylinders and β-sheets as arrows. β-sheets (t) and (u) of VSV G are not present in the protein data base structure (2cmz.pdb). Sequences with significant WWIHS scores were identified by MPeX and filled red or outlined with red lines. Hydrophobic transmembrane domains (violet) were predicted using TMpred as discussed in the text. Secondary structures for BDV G were predicted by PHD. Orange/black lines: dicysteine linkages. Black stick figures: N-glycosylation sites.
