Abstract
We present evidence that the hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza B virus and the glycoprotein of influenza C virus (HEF) are acylated. The fatty acid linkage is sensitive to treatment with hydroxylamine and mercaptoethanol, which points to a labile thioester-type linkage. The HA of influenza B virus contains mainly palmitic acid, whereas the HEF glycoprotein of influenza C virus is acylated with stearic acid which has not been observed before as the prevailing fatty acid in viral or cellular acyl proteins.Entities:
