Abstract excerpt
Glycoprotein D (gD) is an essential protein of herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) that targets the structurally unrelated receptors HVEM and nectin-1. Receptor binding of gD is accompanied by intramolecular structural rearrangements including the detachment of the C-terminus or formation of an N-terminal hairpin structure. We have investigated several gD mutations that were reported to affect receptor binding...
