Substitutions at Loop Regions of TMUV E Protein Domain III Differentially Impair Viral Entry and Assembly

Flavivirus envelope protein (E) plays an important role in cellular infection, especially in virulence and antigenicity. E domain III of Tembusu virus (TMUV) is highly conserved among flaviviruses and contains four loop regions. However, the functions of the loop regions of TMUV E domain III in the...
