Adeno-Associated Virus Type 2 Contains an Integrin α5β1 Binding Domain Essential for Viral Cell Entry
29 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Integrins have been implicated as coreceptors in the infectious pathways of several nonenveloped viruses. For example, adenoviruses are known to interact with alphaV integrins by virtue of a high-affinity arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) domain present in the penton bases of the capsids. In the case of adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2), which lacks this RGD motif, integrin alphaVbeta5 has been identified as a...
