Viral Membrane Fusion and the Transmembrane Domain

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Initiation of host cell infection by an enveloped virus requires a viral-to-host cell membrane fusion event. This event is mediated by at least one viral transmembrane glycoprotein, termed the fusion protein, which is a key therapeutic target.

Fusion peptides and the mechanism of viral fusion

open access: yesBiochimica Et Biophysica Acta - Biomembranes, 2003
Segments of viral fusion proteins play an important role in viral fusion. They are defined by a number of criteria, including the sensitivity of this region of the viral fusion protein to loss of function as a consequence of mutation.

Trimeric coiled-coils as viral fusion protein mimics

2008
α-Helical coiled-coils, a protein structural motif formed by supercoiling of two or more component polypeptide strands, are ubiquitous mediators of biological structure and function. Their characteristic primary heptad repeat, denoted abcdefg, makes these complexes attractive scaffolds for studying self-assembly and molecular recognition.

Probing the Function of Viral Fusion Proteins with Synthetic Peptides

1987
Synthetic peptides offer several unique approaches to studying molecular and cellular interactions. Not only do these peptides provide A. large quantity of material for experimental analysis, but they also offer A. degree of homogeneity that is difficult to obtain through routine biochemical purification.
