Subunit organization of the membrane-bound HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein trimer [PDF]
, 2012 The trimeric human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein (Env) spike is a molecular machine that mediates virus entry into host cells and is the sole target for virus-neutralizing antibodies.

Role of CD4 epitopes outside the gp120-binding site during entry of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 [PDF]
, 1997 CD4 is the primary receptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The binding site for the surface glycoprotein of HIV type 1 (HIV-1), gp120, has been mapped to the C'-C" region of domain 1 of CD4. Previously, we have shown that a mutant of rat CD4, in

SARS CoV-2 SPIKE GLYCOPROTEIN MUTATIONS AND CHANGES IN PROTEIN STRUCTURE
Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences, 2021 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS CoV-2) is a single-stranded positive polarity RNA virus with a high virulence effect. Spike (S) glycoprotein is the outermost component of the SARS CoV-2 virion and is important in the entry of the virus into the cell via the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor.

Heterogeneity of gene expression of the hemagglutinin-esterase (HE) protein of murine coronaviruses. [PDF]
, 1991 The hemagglutinin-esterase (HE) membrane glycoprotein is present only in some members of the coronavirus family, including some strains of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV). In the JHM strain of MHV, expression of the HE gene is variable and corresponds to the

Topographical mapping of epitopes on the glycoproteins of murine hepatitis virus-4 (strain JHM): correlation with biological activities. [PDF]
, 1984 Monoclonal hybridoma antibodies (MAb) of defined polypeptide specificity and biological activity were used in a competition binding assay to identify antibody binding sites (epitopes) on the glycoproteins of murine hepatitis virus-4 strain JHM (MHV-4 ...

Sequence analysis reveals extensive polymorphism and evidence of deletions within the E2 glycoprotein gene of several strains of murine hepatitis virus. [PDF]
, 1989 Direct RNA sequence analysis of the E2 gene of wild-type MHV-4 and of neutralization resistant, neuroattenuated variants has identified a polymorphic region with respect to deletions.
