Incorporation of Spike and Membrane Glycoproteins into Coronavirus Virions [PDF]
The envelopes of coronaviruses (CoVs) contain primarily three proteins; the two major glycoproteins spike (S) and membrane (M), and envelope (E), a non-glycosylated protein.

Influenza hemagglutinin and neuraminidase membrane glycoproteins. [PDF]
Considerable progress has been made toward understanding the structural basis of the interaction of the two major surface glycoproteins of influenza A virus with their common ligand/substrate: carbohydrate chains terminating in sialic acid. The specificity of virus attachment to target cells is mediated by hemagglutinin, which acquires characteristic ...

Lysosomal membrane glycoproteins bind cholesterol and contribute to lysosomal cholesterol export. [PDF]
LAMP1 and LAMP2 proteins are highly abundant, ubiquitous, mammalian proteins that line the lysosome limiting membrane, and protect it from lysosomal hydrolase action. LAMP2 deficiency causes Danon’s disease, an X-linked hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. LAMP2

Glycomic analysis of membrane glycoproteins with bisecting glycosylation from ovarian cancer tissues reveals novel structures and functions. [PDF]
Biomarkers capable of detecting and targeting epithelial ovarian cancer cells for diagnostics and therapeutics would be extremely valuable. Ovarian cancer is the deadliest reproductive malignancy among women in the U.S., killing over 14 000 women each ...

Retinal glycoprotein enrichment by concanavalin a enabled identification of novel membrane autoantigen synaptotagmin-1 in equine recurrent uveitis. [PDF]
Complete knowledge of autoantigen spectra is crucial for understanding pathomechanisms of autoimmune diseases like equine recurrent uveitis (ERU), a spontaneous model for human autoimmune uveitis. While several ERU autoantigens were identified previously,

Herpesvirus glycoproteins undergo multiple antigenic changes before membrane fusion. [PDF]
Herpesvirus entry is a complicated process involving multiple virion glycoproteins and culminating in membrane fusion. Glycoprotein conformation changes are likely to play key roles.

Linkage of a membrane skeleton to integral membrane glycoproteins in human platelets. Identification of one of the glycoproteins as glycoprotein Ib. [PDF]
Experiments were performed to determine whether platelets contain a membrane skeleton. Platelets were labeled by a sodium periodate/sodium [3H]borohydride method and lysed with Triton X-100. Much of the filamentous actin could be sedimented at low g forces (15,600 g, 4 min), but some of the actin filaments required high-speed centrifugation for their ...

Crosslinking of the Glycoproteins in Human Erythrocyte Membranes [PDF]
The glycoproteins of human erythrocyte membranes were crosslinked with dimethyl adipimidate dihydrochloride. On sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoregrams of the crosslinked solubilized membranes, at least three new glycoprotein complexes appeared in addition to the normal glycoprotein species. One of the new glycoprotein complexes was

Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) and type-2 (HSV-2) are prototypical alphaherpesviruses that are characterized by their unique properties to infect trigeminal and dorsal root ganglionic neurons, respectively, and establish life-long latent infections.
