Alterations of membrane curvature during influenza virus budding [PDF]
, 2014 Influenza A virus belongs to the Orthomyxoviridae family. It is an enveloped virus that contains a segmented and negative-sense RNA genome. Influenza A viruses cause annual epidemics and occasional major pandemics, are a major cause of morbidity and ...

Fluorescence Microscopy of the HIV-1 Envelope
Viruses, 2020 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection constitutes a major health and social issue worldwide. HIV infects cells by fusing its envelope with the target cell plasma membrane.

Nucleocapsid-Independent Specific Viral RNA Packaging via Viral Envelope Protein and Viral RNA Signal [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2003 ABSTRACT For any of the enveloped RNA viruses studied to date, recognition of a specific RNA packaging signal by the virus's nucleocapsid (N) protein is the first step described in the process of viral RNA packaging. In the murine coronavirus a selective interaction between the viral transmembrane envelope protein M and the viral

Enveloped and non-enveloped viral-like particles in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes [PDF]
Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2017 Electron microscopy is routinely used to identify viral infections in protozoan parasites. These viruses have been described as non-enveloped and icosahedral structures with a diameter of 30-60 nm. Most of them are classified within the non-segmented dsRNA Totiviridae family.

SERINC5 Mediates a Postintegration Block to HIV-1 Gene Expression in Macrophages
mBio, 2023 HIV-1 antagonizes SERINC5 by redundant mechanisms, primarily through Nef and additionally via envelope glycoprotein. Paradoxically, HIV-1 preserves Nef function to ensure the exclusion of SERINC5 from virion incorporation regardless of the availability ...

Siglecs facilitate HIV-1 infection of macrophages through adhesion with viral sialic acids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infects macrophages effectively, despite relatively low levels of cell surface-expressed CD4. Although HIV-1 infections are defined by viral tropisms according to chemokine receptor usage (R5 and X4 ...

Pushing the viral envelope [PDF]
Science-Business eXchange, 2010 UCLA researchers have identified small molecules that target the lipid component of the viral envelope to irreversibly block entry into the host cell. The approach could represent a new class of broad-spectrum antivirals.
