Structure and Role of O-Linked Glycans in Viral Envelope Proteins [PDF]
N- and O-glycans are both important constituents of viral envelope glycoproteins. O-linked glycosylation can be initiated by any of 20 different human polypeptide O-acetylgalactosaminyl transferases, resulting in an important functional O-glycan heterogeneity.

Viral and Host Factors Regulating HIV-1 Envelope Protein Trafficking and Particle Incorporation [PDF]
The HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) is an essential structural component of the virus, serving as the receptor-binding protein and principal neutralizing determinant. Env trimers are incorporated into developing particles at the plasma membrane of infected cells. Incorporation of HIV-1 Env into particles in T cells and macrophages is regulated by the

Inhibition of Flaviviruses by Targeting a Conserved Pocket on the Viral Envelope Protein [PDF]
Viral envelope proteins are required for productive viral entry and initiation of infection. Although the humoral immune system provides ample evidence for targeting envelope proteins as an antiviral strategy, there are few pharmacological interventions that have this mode of action.

Flavivirus Envelope Protein Glycosylation: Impacts on Viral Infection and Pathogenesis
Flaviviruses encode one, two, or no N -linked glycosylation sites on their envelope proteins. Glycosylation can impact virus interactions with cell surface attachment factors and also may impact virion stability and virus replication.

Viral envelope glycoproteins are crucial for viral infections. In the process of enveloped viruses budding and release from the producer cells, viral envelope glycoproteins are presented on the viral membrane surface as spikes, promoting the virus's next-

Nucleocapsid-Independent Specific Viral RNA Packaging via Viral Envelope Protein and Viral RNA Signal [PDF]
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

Embedding a membrane protein into an enveloped artificial viral replica
We demonstrate the embedding membrane protein, Cx43, on the enveloped artificial viral capsid using a cell-free expression system. The embedding of Cx43 on the envelope was evaluated by detection with anti-Cx43 antibody using FCS and TEM.

Yeast two hybrid analyses reveal novel binary interactions between human cytomegalovirus-encoded virion proteins. [PDF]
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the largest human herpesvirus and its virion contains many viral encoded proteins found in the capsid, tegument, and envelope.

The structure of a prokaryotic viral envelope protein expands the landscape of membrane fusion proteins [PDF]
AbstractLipid membrane fusion is an essential function in many biological processes. Detailed mechanisms of membrane fusion and the protein structures involved have been mainly studied in eukaryotic systems, whereas very little is known about membrane fusion in prokaryotes.

Cell type-specific delivery by modular envelope design
The delivery of genetic cargo remains one of the largest obstacles to the successful translation of experimental therapies, in large part due to the absence of targetable delivery vectors.
