Synthesis of a unique polypeptide in measles virus-infected BGM cells. 1982

T F Wild, and P Giraudon

In measles virus-infected BGM (African green monkey kidney) cells, a unique polypeptide (84K) was identified. This polypeptide was not found in other cell lines examined and could be immunoprecipitated with anti-NP monoclonal antibody. Peptide mapping studies confirmed that it contained all the peptides of the 60K NP plus several additional ones. Pulse-chase experiments failed to establish it as a precursor of the 60K polypeptide. The possible origin of this protein is discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008459	Measles virus	The type species of MORBILLIVIRUS and the cause of the highly infectious human disease MEASLES, which affects mostly children.	Edmonston virus
D008970	Molecular Weight	The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule.	Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D010455	Peptides	Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS.	Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
