Function
[Q80J38_9FLAV] Envelope protein E binding to host cell surface receptor is followed by virus internalization through clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Envelope protein E is subsequently involved in membrane fusion between virion and host late endosomes. Synthesized as a homodimer with prM which acts as a chaperone for envelope protein E. After cleavage of prM, envelope protein E dissociate from small envelope protein M and homodimerizes (By similarity).[SAAS:SAAS026470_004_099774]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
We have solved the NMR solution structure of domain III from the Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus envelope protein and report the first sequencing of the Guriev strain of this virus. Important structural differences between tick-borne flaviviruses, such as OHFV and TBE, and mosquito-borne flaviviruses, such as West Nile virus, are discussed.
