Human cytomegalovirus gH/gL/gO binding to PDGFRα provides a regulatory signal activating the fusion protein gB that can be blocked by neutralizing antibodies
9 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Herpesviruses require membrane fusion for entry and spread, a process facilitated by the fusion glycoprotein B (gB) and the regulatory factor gH/gL. The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) gH/gL can be modified by the accessory protein gO, or the set of proteins UL128, UL130, and UL131. While the binding of the gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128-131 complexes to cellular receptors, including PDGFRα and NRP2, has been...
