The Infectivity of prM-Containing Partially Mature West Nile Virus Does Not Require the Activity of Cellular Furin-Like Proteases

Cleavage of the flavivirus prM protein by a cellular furin-like protease is a hallmark of virion maturation. While this cleavage is a required step in the viral life cycle, it can be inefficient. Virions that retain uncleaved prM may be infectious. We investigated whether cleavage by furin of prM on...
