Fusogenic structural changes in arenavirus glycoproteins are associated with viroporin activity.
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Many enveloped viruses enter host cells by fusing with acidic endosomes. The fusion activity of multiple viral envelope glycoproteins does not generally affect viral membrane permeability.

Membrane curvature regulates the spatial distribution of bulky glycoproteins
Nature Communications, 2022 MUC1 is a heavily glycosylated protein on the cell surface. Here the authors show that MUC1 prefers negative over positive membrane curvature due to its bulky size, enabling MUC1 to avoid endocytosis and surface removal based on curvature preference.

Membrane Glycoproteins of Enveloped Viruses
, 1978 This chapter focuses on the recent information of the glycoprotein components of enveloped viruses and points out specific findings on viral envelopes. Although enveloped viruses of different major groups vary in size and shape, as well as in the molecular weight of their structural polypeptides, there are general similarities in the types of ...

Paranodin, a Glycoprotein of Neuronal Paranodal Membranes [PDF]
Neuron, 1997 Ranvier nodes are flanked by paranodal regions, at the level of which oligodendrocytes or Schwann cells interact closely with axons. Paranodes play a critical role in the physiological properties of myelinated nerve fibers. Paranodin, a prominent 180 kDa transmembrane neuronal glycoprotein, was purified and cloned from adult rat brain, and found to be ...

Towards Understanding KSHV Fusion and Entry
Viruses, 2019 How viruses enter cells is of critical importance to pathogenesis in the host and for treatment strategies. Over the last several years, the herpesvirus field has made numerous and thoroughly fascinating discoveries about the entry of alpha-, beta-, and ...
