A mature and fusogenic form of the Nipah virus fusion protein requires proteolytic processing by cathepsin L
The Nipah virus fusion (F) protein is proteolytically processed to F(1) + F(2) subunits. We demonstrate here that cathepsin L is involved in this important maturation event. Cathepsin inhibitors ablated cleavage of Nipah F. Proteolytic processing of Nipah F and fusion activity was dramatically reduc...
