Specificity switching in virus–receptor complexes [PDF]
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2009 Several structures of complexes between viral attachment proteins and their cellular receptors have been determined recently, enhancing our understanding of the molecular recognition processes that guide formation of virus-receptor complexes. Moreover, these structures also highlight strategies by which highly similar viral proteins within a single ...

Virus-Receptor Interactions and Receptor-Mediated Virus Entry into Host Cells [PDF]
, 2013 The virus particles described in the previous chapters of this book are vehicles that transmit the viral genome and the infection from cell to cell. To initiate the infective cycle, the viral genome must therefore translocate from the viral particle to the cell cytoplasm. Via distinct proteins or motifs in their outermost shell, the particles of animal

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans and Viral Attachment: True Receptors or Adaptation Bias?
Viruses, 2019 Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) are composed of unbranched, negatively charged heparan sulfate (HS) polysaccharides attached to a variety of cell surface or extracellular matrix proteins.

The epidermal growth factor receptor is not a receptor for vaccinia virus [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1994 It has been suggested that the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor for vaccinia virus. Other reports, although not specifically addressing this question, did not support such a role for the EGFR. We addressed this issue by using wild-type virus and a virus growth factor deletion mutant, as well as sets of cells that do not express ...

Is the TAM Receptor Axl a Receptor for Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus? [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2013 ABSTRACT A recent publication indicated that overexpression of Axl, a cellular receptor that negatively regulates Toll-like receptor signaling, enhanced the entry of viruses pseudotyped with the glycoprotein of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) in vitro .

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

The Role of Host Cell Glycans on Virus Infectivity: The SARS‐CoV‐2 Case
Advanced Science, 2023 Glycans are ubiquitously expressed sugars, coating the cell and protein surfaces. They are found on many proteins as either short and branched chains or long chains sticking out from special membrane proteins, known as proteoglycans.

Dynamics of Virus-Receptor Interactions in Virus Binding, Signaling, and Endocytosis [PDF]
Viruses, 2015 During viral infection the first challenge that viruses have to overcome is gaining access to the intracellular compartment. The infection process starts when the virus contacts the surface of the host cell. A complex series of events ensues, including diffusion at the host cell membrane surface, binding to receptors, signaling, internalization, and ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...
