Structural and Conformational Requirements of Membrane Fusion Mediated by the Parainfluenza Virus 5 Fusion Protein

Description:

Fusion of biological membranes is dictated by the interaction between specialized membrane proteins and the lipid bilayer. Parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5) mediates fusion using two surface glycoproteins: the fusion protein (F) and the attachment protein hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN). Activation of membrane fusion of PIV5 typically occurs at neutral pH, and involves...
