Enveloped viruses mature by budding at cellular membranes. It has been generally thought
that this process is driven by interactions between the viral transmembrane proteins and the …

Every enveloped virus fuses its membrane with a host cell membrane, thereby releasing its
genome into the cytoplasm and initiating the viral replication cycle. In each case, one or a …

Dengue virus enters a host cell when the viral envelope glycoprotein, E, binds to a receptor
and responds by conformational rearrangement to the reduced pH of an endosome. The …

Fusion of biological membranes is mediated by specific lipid-interacting proteins that induce
the formation and expansion of an initial fusion pore. Here we report the crystal structure of …

The cytoplasmic tail of the measles virus (MV) fusion (F) protein is often altered in viruses
which spread through the brain of patients suffering from subacute sclerosing …

Measles viruses (MV) can be isolated from the brains of deceased subacute sclerosing
panencephalitis patients only in a cell‐associated form. These viruses are often defective in …

In this report, we show that the glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV G) contains
within its extracellular membrane-proximal stem (GS) a domain that is required for efficient …

The transmembrane (TM) domains of viral fusion proteins are required for fusion, but their
precise role is unknown. G protein, the fusion protein of vesicular stomatitis virus, was …

Truncation of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or simian immunodeficiency virus
(SIV) gp41 cytoplasmic tail (CT) can modulate the fusogenicity of the envelope glycoprotein …

Pseudoty** retrovirus and lentivirus vectors with different viral fusion proteins is a useful
strategy to alter the host range of the vectors. Although lentivirus vectors are efficiently …
