Cell Entry

To measure the effects of mutations on cell entry mediated by the receptor binding protein, we conducted 'functional selections'. In these selections, we compared the frequencies of specific barcodes between two groups of pseudoviruses: those expressing the Nipah virus receptor binding (mutated) and fusion proteins (unmutated), and those expressing VSV-G. Notebooks below contain information about each step.

Global Epistasis Fitting

Individual cell entry selections were fit with multidms to decompose the effects of individual mutations using a global epistasis model.

Cell Entry Validations

To validate our deep mutational scanning measurements, we produced lentiviruses with individual mutations that spanned a range of effects. Cell entry validation notebook

We validated the DMS cell entry measurements by making individual RBP mutants, expressing them on pseudovirus particles, and measuring luciferase following infection.
