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.

Super-resolution microscopy reveals specific recruitment of HIV-1 envelope proteins to viral assembly sites dependent on the envelope C-terminal tail [PDF]
The inner structural Gag proteins and the envelope (Env) glycoproteins of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) traffic independently to the plasma membrane, where they assemble the nascent virion. HIV-1 carries a relatively low number of glycoproteins in

NMR Studies of Viral Envelope Proteins [PDF]
Detailed structural information about viral envelope proteins is necessary for a better understanding of the viral entry mechanism, as well as for the development of new and improved anti-viral therapies, especially those targeting the pre-fusion and ...

HIV-1 Envelope Glycoprotein at the Interface of Host Restriction and Virus Evasion
Without viral envelope proteins, viruses cannot enter cells to start infection. As the major viral proteins present on the surface of virions, viral envelope proteins are a prominent target of the host immune system in preventing and ultimately ...

Partial Functional Rescue of Helicoverpa armigera Single Nucleocapsid Nucleopolyhedrovirus Infectivity by Replacement of F Protein with GP64 from Autographa californica Multicapsid Nucleopolyhedrovirus [PDF]
Two distinct envelope fusion proteins (EFPs) (GP64 and F) have been identified in members of the Baculoviridae family of viruses. F proteins are found in group II nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs) of alphabaculoviruses and in beta- and deltabaculoviruses ...

Recognition of viral glycoproteins by influenza A-specific cross- reactive cytolytic T lymphocytes [PDF]
Two populations of cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) generated after influenza A virus infection can be distinguished into one with specificity for the sensitizing hemagglutinin type and a second with cross-reactivity for antigens induced by other type-A ...

Specific nuclear envelope transmembrane proteins can promote the location of chromosomes to and from the nuclear periphery [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Different cell types have distinctive patterns of chromosome positioning in the nucleus. Although ectopic affinity-tethering of specific loci can be used to relocate chromosomes to the nuclear periphery, endogenous nuclear envelope proteins ...
