Viral entry and the ubiquitin‐proteasome system [PDF]

open access: yesCellular Microbiology, 2020
Viruses confiscate cellular components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to facilitate many aspects of the infectious cycle. The 26S proteasome is an ATP-dependent, multisubunit proteolytic machine present in all eukaryotic cells. The proteasome executes the controlled degradation of functional proteins, as well as the hydrolysis of aberrantly ...

Enhanced human enterovirus 71 infection by endocytosis inhibitors reveals multiple entry pathways by enterovirus causing hand-foot-and-mouth diseases

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2018
Background Human enterovirus 71 (EV71) was previously known to enter cells through clathrin or caveolar mediated endocytic pathways. However, we observed chlorpromazine (CPZ) or dynasore (DNS), which inhibit clathrin and dynamin mediated endocytosis, did

Disentangling Viral Entry Kinetics Using Lipid Bilayers Coating Silica Nanoparticles

open access: yes, 2020
Enveloped viruses infect cells via fusion between the viral envelope and a cellular membrane. This membrane fusion process is driven by viral proteins, but slow stochastic protein activation dominates fusion kinetics, making it challenging

Role of lipids on entry and exit of bluetongue virus, a complex non-enveloped virus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Non-enveloped viruses such as members of Picornaviridae and Reoviridae are assembled in the cytoplasm and are generally released by cell lysis. However, recent evidence suggests that some non-enveloped viruses exit from infected cells without lysis ...

Statistical Mechanics of Viral Entry

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2015
Viruses that have lipid-membrane envelopes infect cells by fusing with the cell membrane to release viral genes. Membrane fusion is known to be hindered by high kinetic barriers associated with drastic structural rearrangements-yet viral infection, which occurs by fusion, proceeds on remarkably short time scales.

Diazadispiroalkane Derivatives Are New Viral Entry Inhibitors [PDF]

open access: yesAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2021
Herpesviruses are widespread and can cause serious illness. Many currently available antiviral drugs have limited effects, result in rapid development of resistance, and often exhibit dose-dependent toxicity.

Comparative analysis reveals the species-specific genetic determinants of ACE2 required for SARS-CoV-2 entry.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2021
Coronavirus interaction with its viral receptor is a primary genetic determinant of host range and tissue tropism. SARS-CoV-2 utilizes ACE2 as the receptor to enter host cell in a species-specific manner.

A capsid-encoded PPxY-motif facilitates adenovirus entry. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Viruses use cellular machinery to enter and infect cells. In this study we address the cell entry mechanisms of nonenveloped adenoviruses (Ads). We show that protein VI, an internal capsid protein, is rapidly exposed after cell surface attachment and ...

Viral cell recognition and entry [PDF]

open access: yesProtein Science, 1994
AbstractRhinovirus infection is initiated by the recognition of a specific cell‐surface receptor. The major group of rhino‐virus serotypes attach to intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1). The attachment process initiates a series of conformational changes resulting in the loss of genomic RNA from the virion.
