Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) entry into cells requires the binding of glycoprotein D (gD) to one of several cell surface receptors. The crystal structure of gD bound to one of these receptors, HveA/HVEM, reveals that the core of gD comprises an immunoglobulin fold flanked by a long C-terminal extension and an N-terminal hairpin loop. HveA is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family and contains four...
