Ari Helenius launched the field of enveloped virus fusion in endosomes with a seminal
paper in the Journal of Cell Biology in 1980. In the intervening years, a great deal has been …

Rhabdoviruses enter the cell via the endocytic pathway and subsequently fuse with a
cellular membrane within the acidic environment of the endosome. Both receptor recognition …

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a prototypic enveloped animal virus that has been used
extensively to study virus entry, replication and assembly due to its broad host range and …

Influenza A virus (IAV) uses the low pH in late endocytic vacuoles as a cue for penetration by
membrane fusion. Here, we analyzed the prefusion reactions that prepare the core for …

The current model of hepatitis C virus (HCV) production involves the assembly of virions on
or near the surface of lipid droplets, envelopment at the ER in association with components …

Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe and often fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans and
nonhuman primates (NHPs). Currently, there are no licensed vaccines or therapeutics for …

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) represents a significant advancement in therapeutic
medicine, offering unique molecular and cellular characteristics that make it exceptionally …

Codon pair bias (CPB), which has been observed in all organisms, is a neglected genomic
phenomenon that affects gene expression. CPB results from synonymous codons that are …

To study VSV entry and the fate of incoming matrix (M) protein during virus uncoating we
used recombinant viruses encoding M proteins with a C-terminal tetracysteine tag that could …

Due to its small size and versatility, the biarsenical-tetracysteine system is an attractive way
to label viral proteins for live cell imaging. This study describes the genetic labeling of the …
