abstract: |
Capsid protein of two positive stranded RNA viruses, Hepatitis E virus (HEV) and Chikungunya
virus (ChikV), were investigated. HEV was detected in swine serum collected in Germany.
An infectious system for HEV was established and was used to check its egress. The
requirement of various amino acid sequences for the autoproteolytic cleavage of ChikV
capsid protease was investigated. I was also able to show that ChikV capsid is recognized
by karyopherins and its export is mediated by CRM1 dependent nuclear export signal.
