Role of Viral Envelope Proteins in Determining Susceptibility of Viruses to IFITM Proteins
VirusesInterferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) are a family of proteins which inhibit infections of various enveloped viruses. While their general mechanism of inhibition seems to be non-specific, involving the tightening of membrane structures to ...

Relating structure to evolution in class II viral membrane fusion proteins
Current Opinion in Virology, 2014 Enveloped viruses must fuse their lipid membrane to a cellular membrane to deliver the viral genome into the cytoplasm for replication. Viral envelope proteins catalyze this critical membrane fusion event. They fall into at least three distinct structural classes. Class II fusion proteins have a conserved three-domain architecture and are found in many
