Abstract
The proper folding and assembly of viral envelope proteins are mediated by host chaperones. In this study, we demonstrated that an endoplasmic reticulum luminal chaperone GRP78/BiP bound specifically to the pre-S1 domain of the L protein in vitro and in vivo where complete viral particles were secreted, suggesting that GRP78/BiP plays an essential role in the proper folding of the L protein and/or assembly of viral envelope proteins.
