α <sub>5</sub> β <sub>1</sub> -Integrin controls ebolavirus entry by regulating endosomal cathepsins
28 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Integrins are involved in the binding and internalization of both enveloped and nonenveloped viruses. By using 3 distinct cell systems-CHO cells lacking expression of alpha(5)beta(1)-integrin, HeLa cells treated with siRNA to alpha(5)-integrin, and mouse beta(1)-integrin knockout fibroblasts, we show that alpha(5)beta(1)-integrin is required for efficient infection by pseudovirions bearing the ebolavirus...
