A surface pocket in the cytoplasmic domain of the herpes simplex virus fusogen gB controls membrane fusion
2022-03-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Membrane fusion during the entry of herpesviruses is carried out by the viral fusogen gB that is activated by its partner protein gH. Unusually, the fusogenic activity of gB is controlled by its cytoplasmic (or intraviral) domain (gB CTD ) and, according to the current model, the gB CTD is a trimeric, inhibitory clamp that restrains gB in the prefusion conformation. But how the gB CTD clamp i...
