Changing the Protease Specificity for Activation of a Flavivirus, Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus

The infectivity of flavivirus particles depends on a maturation process that is triggered by the proteolytic cleavage of the precursor of the M protein (prM). This activation cleavage is naturally performed by ubiquitous cellular proteases of the furin family, which typically recognize the multibasi...
