Abstract excerpt
The viral fusion protein glycoprotein B (gB) is conserved in all herpesviruses and is essential for virus entry. During entry, gB fuses viral and host cell membranes by refolding from a prefusion to a postfusion form. We previously introduced three structure-based mutations (gB-I671A/H681A/F683A) into the domain V arm of the gB ectodomain that resulted in reduced cell-cell fusion. A virus carrying these three...
