Maturation of protein 3a

Protein 3a is associated with protein M and is found in the virion, although its function in the structure seems non-essential. 3a is O-glycosylated and forms a homotetramer with porin function (Oostra et al, 2006; Lu et al, 2006).

蛋白质3a与蛋白质M相关联，存在于病毒颗粒中，尽管其在结构中的功能似为非必需。蛋白质3a发生O-糖基化，并与具有孔蛋白功能的同源四聚体结合（Oostra等，2006；Lu等，2006）。
