Screening and identification of protein interacting with goose astrovirus. (PubMed, Front Cell Infect Microbiol)
Further prediction of the binding residue sites revealed that seven residues of the GoAstV-P2 protein (THR124, ILE22, VAL24, TRP51, PRO66, GLN100, and VAL125) and twelve residues of the HSPA5 protein (ARG2, HIS3, LEU4, LEU6, ALA7, LEU8, LEU9, LEU10, LEU11, ASP411, VAL413, and LEU415) may be involved in the interaction between these two proteins. Our research results have preliminarily elucidated the interaction mechanisms between viral proteins and receptors, facilitating exploration from multiple angles of the roles of candidate protein in the process of GoAstV infecting host cells. This provides a theoretical basis for further identification of GoAstV receptors and clarification of its infection mechanisms.
