Unraveling dual fusion mechanisms in BmNPV GP64: critical roles of CARC motifs and signal peptide retention. [PDF]
Viral membrane fusion is a critical process enabling viruses to invade host cells, driven by viral membrane fusion proteins (MFPs). Cholesterol plays a pivotal role in this process, which is essential for the infectivity of many enveloped viruses.

BmREEPa Is a Novel Gene that Facilitates BmNPV Entry into Silkworm Cells.
We previously established two silkworm cell lines, BmN-SWU1 and BmN-SWU2, from Bombyx mori ovaries. BmN-SWU1 cells are susceptible while BmN-SWU2 cells are highly resistant to BmNPV infection. Interestingly, we found that the entry of BmNPV into BmN-SWU2

SUMOylation Regulates BmNPV Replication by Moderating PKIP Intracellular Localization [PDF]
SUMOylation is a reversible covalent process between a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) and its target protein and has become a crucial regulator of protein functions. Here, we report that Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) may take advantage of the host SUMOylation system to enhance its own replication, similar to many other viruses.

Immobilization of foreign protein into polyhedra of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) [PDF]
In the late phase of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection, a large amount of polyhedra appear in the infected cell nucleolus, these polyhedra being dense protein crystals protecting the incorporated virions from the harsh environment.
