Abstract excerpt
Reovirus attachment protein σ1 is a trimeric molecule containing tail, body, and head domains. During infection, σ1 engages sialylated glycans and junctional adhesion molecule-A (JAM-A), triggering uptake into the endocytic compartment, where virions are proteolytically converted to infectious subvirion particles (ISVPs). Further disassembly allows σ1 release and escape of transcriptionally active reovirus cores...
