summation
[Summation:9694283] This COVID-19 event has been created by a combination of computational inference (see https://reactome.org/documentation/inferred-events) from SARS-CoV-1 data and manual curation, as described in the summation for the overall SARS-CoV-2 infection pathway.
Despite its importance, expression of M alone is not sufficient to drive formation of a mature virus (reviewed in Masters, 2006). Protein-protein interactions between M and S, N and E, among other components, are required for assembly of a mature virus and for membrane curvature. Many studies have examined the minimal system required for release of viral like particles (VLPs) with sometimes contradictory results, but interactions between M, N and E are sufficient to promote release of significant numbers of VLPs (Ho et al, 2004; Huang et al, 2004; Mortola and Roy, 2004; Hsieh et al, 2005; Siu et al, 2008; Hatakeyama et al, 2008; Tseng et al, 2013; reviewed in Masters, 2006)
