Abstract excerpt
For cell entry, vaccinia virus requires fusion with the host membrane via a viral fusion complex of 11 proteins, but the mechanism remains unclear. It was shown previously that the viral proteins A56 and K2 are expressed on infected cells to prevent superinfection by extracellular vaccinia virus through binding to two components of the viral fusion complex (G9 and A16), thereby inhibiting membrane fusion. To...
