Histidine protonation and the activation of viral fusion proteins. [PDF]
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2008 Many viral fusion proteins only become activated under mildly acidic condition (pH 4.5-6.5) close to the pK(a) of histidine side-chain protonation.

Peripherin-2: an intracellular analogy to viral fusion proteins.
Biochemistry, 2007The C-terminus of the intracellular retinal rod outer segment disk protein peripherin-2 binds to membranes, adopts a helical conformation, and promotes membrane fusion, which suggests an analogy to the structure and function of viral envelope fusion ...

Class III viral membrane fusion proteins. [PDF]
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2011 Accumulating structural studies of viral fusion glycoproteins have revealed unanticipated structural relationships between unrelated virus families and allowed the grouping of these membrane fusogens into three distinct classes. Here we review the newly identified group of class III viral fusion proteins, whose members include fusion proteins from ...

Peptide models for the membrane destabilizing actions of viral fusion proteins
Biopolymers, 1992AbstractThe fusion of enveloped viruses to target membranes is promoted by certain viral fusion proteins. However, many other proteins and peptides stabilize bilayer membranes and inhibit membrane fusion. We have evaluated some characteristics of the interaction of peptides that are models of segments of measles and influenza fusion proteins with ...

Membrane rearrangements in fusion mediated by viral proteins [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 1997 Diverse enveloped viruses enter host cells by fusing their envelopes with cell membranes. The mechanisms of merger of lipid bilayers of two membranes mediated by influenza hemagglutinin and other viral fusion proteins apparently involve local lipidic connections that evolve into a bilayer septum in which a pore forms and expands.

Peptide-based inhibitors of the HIV envelope protein and other class I viral fusion proteins.
Current pharmaceutical design, 2010Viruses need to deliver their genomic information into the host cell lumen to establish productive infection. Enveloped viruses accomplish this task by fusing their membrane with a host cell membrane.

Inhibition of Measles Viral Fusion Is Enhanced by Targeting Multiple Domains of the Fusion Protein
ACS Nano, 2021Measles virus (MeV) infection remains a significant public health threat despite ongoing global efforts to increase vaccine coverage. As eradication of MeV stalls, and vulnerable populations expand, effective antivirals against MeV are in high demand.

Properties of a Viral Fusion Protein
1988The mechanisms by which proteins mediate biological membrane fusion are not clearly understood. We have analyzed acid-induced changes in influenza hemagglutinin (HA), a viral membrane fusion factor, and correlated them with its acid-triggered fusion activity.
