Measles Fusion Machinery Is Dysregulated in Neuropathogenic Variants
11 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Paramyxoviruses, including the human pathogen measles virus (MV), enter host cells by fusing their viral envelope with the target cell membrane. This fusion process is driven by the concerted actions of the two viral envelope glycoproteins, the receptor binding protein (hemagglutinin [H]) and the fusion (F) protein. H attaches to specific proteinaceous receptors on host cells; once the receptor...
