“…However, influenza C virus, toroviruses, and coronaviruses may well have acquired their HE sequences independently, not from each other but from yet another source (Cornelissen et al, 1997). The HE protein becomes cotranslationally N-glycosylated when expressed in cells, giving rise to a polypeptide of approximately 60-65 kDa that rapidly forms disulfide-linked dimers (Hogue et al, 1989;Kienzle et al, 1990;King et al, 1985;Parker et al, 1989;Yokomori et al, 1989;Yoo et al, 1992). The HE dimers (or a higher order structure thereof) become incorporated into virions, while a proportion is transported to the cell surface (Kienzle et al, 1990;Pfleiderer et al, 1991).…”
