A C-terminal Hydrophobic Region is Required for Homo-Oligomerization of the Hepatitis E Virus Capsid (ORF2) Protein
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent of hepatitis E, an acute form of viral hepatitis. The open reading frame 2 (ORF2) of HEV encodes the viral capsid protein, which can self-oligomerize into virus-like particles. To understand the domains within this protein important for capsid biogenesi...
