MHV EP? – Cell Penetrating Peptides – CPP

Post-transmembrane region (PTM) from the envelope protein (E) of the coronavirus- Mouse Hepatitis Virus (MHV). This protein region is involved in direct membrane binding, with the C-terminal hydrophobic residues of this peptide, thought to be most relevant for membrane binding. After replication, coronaviruses (CoVs) assemble on intracellular membranes, the coronavirus envelope protein (E) is involved in virus assembly and release. E proteins have been located in the endoplasmic reticulum Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) and Golgi of infected cells but are not thought to traffic to the cell surface of infected cells. CoV E is a small hydrophobic protein which is conserved between coronaviruses. E consist of a short hydrophilic amino terminal region, a hydrophobic transmembrane region and a carboxy-terminal region. CoV E protein is an integral membrane protein. E has been considered a therapeutic target for SARS-CoV-2.
