Disease relevance of F2

In a challenge experiment, 65% of the F2 transgenic fish survived an infection of Flavobacterium columnare and 60% survived an infection of Edwardsiella tarda, whereas 100% of the control fish were killed by both pathogens [1].
The lytic activity of protein extracts from the liver (assessed by a lysoplate assay using Micrococcus lysodeikticus as a substrate) was 1.75 times higher in F2 transgenic zebrafish than in the wild type [1].
The amino acid sequence at the F2/F1 cleavage site of the F0 fusion protein of 17 strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was deduced from sequencing a 32 nucleotide area of the genome by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques [2].

High impact information on F2

All isolates showed the amino acid sequence 112R-R-Q/R-K-R116 at the C-terminus of the F2 protein and phenylalanine (F) at the N-terminus of the F1 protein, residue 117 [3].
