Our studies clearly demonstrated that the KXHXX motif is the major intracellular localization signal of the full-length SARS-S protein and the C-terminal proximity is not essential. Our alanine mutation studies on the KXHXX motif confirm the importance of the lysine and histidine in the full-length wild-type HCoV-SARS S protein; the mutant protein showed localization in plasma membrane instead of the usual ER and ERGIC. In contrast, Lysosomal acid phosphatase, also a type I membrane protein with a cytosolic tail GYXXØ motif located 7 residues from both transmembrane domain and the carboxy termini (Tm-RMQAQPPGYRHVADGEDHA) delivered mainly via the cell surface (Braun et al. ./cache/cord-286301-7sjw5ci7.txt ./txt/cord-286301-7sjw5ci7.txt
