Differential sensitivity of arachidonic acid release and 1,2-diacylglycerol formation to pertussis toxin, GDP beta S and NaF in saponin-permeabilized human platelets: possible evidence for distinct GTP-binding proteins involving phospholipase C and A2 act

abstract：:Adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsids are composed of three proteins, VP1, VP2, and VP3. These capsid proteins have a common amino acid sequence, being expressed from different initiation codons on the same open reading frame. Although VP1 is necessary for viral infection, it is not essential for capsid formation. The ...
