A functional analysis suggests that cholesterol depletion affects a post-adsorption step in the virus entry process that requires membrane rearrangements. As cholesterol depletion from TGE virions results in a reduction of viral infectivity (Ren et al., 2008) , we were interested to find out whether the surface protein S that mediates virus entry is localized in DRMs. For this purpose, we analyzed whether the TGEV S protein is resistant to solubilization by Triton X-100 at 4 • C. This result indicates that the surface protein of TGEV is arranged in the viral envelope in a detergent-resistant way that is not affected by cholesterol depletion. ./cache/cord-337645-t6py0oyw.txt ./txt/cord-337645-t6py0oyw.txt
