The glycan shield of alphaherpesvirus glycoprotein B modulates host co-receptor binding

2026-02-03

Abstract excerpt

Alphaherpesviruses can infect a wide range of cell types and are notorious for their neurotropism. They enter cells through the fusion activity of the essential viral glycoprotein gB. Interactions of gB with co-receptors Myelin Associated Glycoprotein (MAG), paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptor alpha (PILRα) and Non-muscle Myosin Heavy Chain IIA (NMHC-IIA) influence cell tropism and infectivity. Both MAG and...
