Structural and functional analysis of natural capsid variants reveals sialic-acid independent entry of BK polyomavirus

2022-07-14

Abstract excerpt

BK Polyomavirus (BKPyV) is an opportunistic pathogen that causes nephropathy in kidney transplant recipients. The BKPyV major capsid protein, VP1, engages gangliosides, lipid-linked sialylated glycans at the cell surface, to gain entry into cells. Here, we characterise the influence of VP1 mutations observed in patients with persistent post-transplant BKPyV replication on ganglioside binding, VP1 protein structure...
