Structure of the membrane anchor of pestivirus glycoprotein E(rns), a long tilted amphipathic helix.

E(rns) is an essential virion glycoprotein with RNase activity that suppresses host cellular innate immune responses upon being partially secreted from the infected cells. Its unusual C-terminus plays multiple roles, as the amphiphilic helix acts as a membrane anchor, as a signal peptidase cleavage...
