“…Because it has been shown for MHV-A59 or MHV-JHM that the higher molecular weight form of both the intracellular and virion matrix protein species are glycosylated (Siddell et al, 1981b;Sturman & Holmes, 1977;Neimann & Klenk, 1981;Macnaughton, 1980;, it is logical to conclude that this modification is due to glycosylation. A number of groups have now demonstrated that this glycosylation event is not, however, inhibited by the drug tunicamycin (Niemann & Klenk, 1981;Rottier et al, 1981b;Siddell et aL, 1981b;Holmes et al, 1981;) and chemical analysis conclusively shows that the glycosidic linkage is of the O type (Niemann & Klenk, 1981). Recently, by a combination of tryptic peptide mapping and partial proteolytic analysis, Stern et al (1982) have concluded that the analogous proteins in the infectious bronchitis virion, i.e.…”
