Electron tomography visualization of HIV-1 virions trapped by fusion inhibitors to host cells in infected tissues
2024-08-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> HIV-1 delivers its genetic material to infect a cell after fusion of the viral and host cell membranes, which takes place after the viral envelope (Env) binds host receptor and co-receptor proteins. Binding of host receptor CD4 to Env results in conformational changes that allow interaction with a host co-receptor (CCR5 or CXCR4). Further conformational rearrangements result in an elongated pre-...
