Hantavirus Gn and Gc glycoproteins self-assemble into virus-like particles
(2014)
How hantaviruses and other bunyavirusesassemble and exit infected
cells remains largely unknown. Here, we show that the expression of
Andes (ANDV) and Puumala (PUUV) hantavirus Gn and Gc envelope
glycoproteins lead to their ...
Inhibition of the Hantavirus Fusion Process by Predicted Domain III and Stem Peptides from Glycoprotein Gc
(2016)
Hantaviruses can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome or hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in humans. To enter cells, hantaviruses fuse their envelope membrane with host cell membranes. Previously, we have shown that ...
Cell entry of dengue virus
(Future Medicine, 2008-09)
Dengue virus is an expanding public health problem in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, mainly owing to failure in the maintenance of control programs for the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti and increasing and ...
Cellular origin of the Bufo arenarum sperm receptor gp75, a ZP2 family member: Its proteolysis after fertilization
(Portland Press, 2008-04)
Background information. The egg envelope is an extracellular matrix that surrounds oocytes. In frogs and mammals, a prominent feature of envelope modification following fertilization is the N-terminal proteolysis of the ...
Prevalence of antibodies against an Immuno-dominat region of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp41 in sera from HIV-1 infected individuals in Brazil
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1994)
Effects of (L)- and (D)-REKR amino acid-containing peptides on HIV and SIV envelope glycoprotein precursor maturation and HIV and SIV replication
(PORTLAND PRESS, 2002-09-15)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the capacity of synthetic L- and D-peptides encompassing the HIV-1(BRU) gp160 REKR cleavage site to interfere with HIV and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) replication and ...
Archaeal membrane-associated proteases: insights on Haloferax volcanii and other haloarchaea
(Frontiers, 2015-02)
The function of membrane proteases range from general house-keeping to regulation of cellular processes. Although the biological role of these enzymes in archaea is poorly understood, some of them are implicated in the ...
Development of a lentiviral vector system to study the role of the Andes virus glycoproteins
(2010-10)
To infect target cells, enveloped viruses use their virion surface proteins to direct cell attachment and subsequent entry via virus-cell membrane fusion. How hantaviruses enter cells has been largely unexplored. To study ...
