Membrane Interactions and Uncoating of Aichi Virus, a Picornavirus That Lacks a VP4
16 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
To initiate infection, viruses must enter a host cell and deliver their genome into the appropriate location. The picornavirus family of small nonenveloped RNA viruses includes significant human and animal pathogens and is also a model to understand the process of cell entry. Most picornavirus capsids contain the internal protein VP4, generated from cleavage of a VP0 precursor. During entry, VP4 is released from...
