Visualization of conformational changes and membrane remodeling leading to genome delivery by viral class-II fusion machinery
15 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a human pathogen that delivers its genome to the host cell cytoplasm through endocytic low pH-activated membrane fusion mediated by class-II fusion proteins. Though structures of prefusion, icosahedral CHIKV are available, structural characterization of virion interaction with membranes has been limited. Here, we have used cryo-electron tomography to visualize CHIKV's complete...
