Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) A fusion protein precursor F0 is cleaved shortly before or during transit to the host cell plasma membrane, resulting in three fragments: the F subunits, F1 and F2, and the p27 peptide. At both cleavage sites, motifs typically recognized by furin-like proteases are found. The actual responsible protease is unknown. Cleavage into F1 and F2 is necessary to form the F1-F2 subunit of the F trimer, which catalyzes both virion-cell and cell-cell membrane fusion (Elango et al, 1985; Collins & Mottet, 1991; Gonzalez-Reyes et al, 2001).
