Structural component of the virion that interacts with glycoprotein C (PubMed:1988460). It shields the hydrophobic fusion loops of the glycoprotein C, preventing premature fusion (By similarity). The glycoprotein protrusions are arranged on an icosahedral lattice, with T=12 triangulation (PubMed:18272496). They are able to attach the virion to the host cell receptor CD209/DC-SIGN and to promote fusion of membranes with the late endosome after endocytosis of the virion (PubMed:20542252). Plays a role in the packaging of ribonucleoproteins during virus assembly (PubMed:17670814, PubMed:17229712). Structural component of the virion that interacts with glycoprotein N (PubMed:1988460). Acts as a class II fusion protein that is activated upon acidification and subsequent repositioning of the glycoprotein N (By similarity). The glycoprotein protrusions are arranged on an icosahedral lattice, with T=12 triangulation (PubMed:18272496). They are able to attach the virion to the host cell receptor CD209/DC-SIGN and to promote fusion of membranes with the late endosome after endocytosis of the virion (PubMed:20542252). Homodimer (PubMed:7645217). Heterodimer with glycoprotein C (PubMed:1988460, PubMed:1602557, PubMed:17670814). Homotrimer (postfusion) (By similarity). Heterodimer with glycoprotein N (PubMed:1988460, PubMed:1602557, PubMed:17670814). Homotrimer (postfusion) (By similarity). Interaction between Glycoprotein N and Glycoprotein C is essential for proper targeting of Glycoprotein C to the Golgi complex, where virion budding occurs. Interaction between Glycoprotein N and Glycoprotein C is essential for proper targeting of Glycoprotein C to the Golgi complex, where virion budding occurs. Contains a Golgi retention signal on its C-terminus (PubMed:17670814, PubMed:9151865, PubMed:9811692). The cytoplasmic tail specifically interacts with the ribonucleoproteins and is critical for genome packaging (PubMed:17670814, PubMed:17229712). Specific enzymatic cleavages in vivo yield mature proteins including glycoprotein C and glycoprotein N. The cytoplasmic tail is Palmitoylated. Glycosylated. Contains principally poly-N-acetyllactosamine glycans. Glycosylated. Contains principally oligomannose-type glycans that can attach to host CD209/DC-SIGN. Palmitoylated. Belongs to the phlebovirus envelope glycoprotein family.
