Inhibition of Cytomegalovirus by Pentacta pygmaea Fucosylated Chondroitin Sulfate Depends on Its Molecular Weight

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Many viruses attach to host cells by first interacting with cell surface proteoglycans containing heparan sulfate (HS) glycosaminoglycan chains and then by engaging with specific receptor, resulting in virus entry.

Influenza Virus Entry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
As all the enveloped viruses, the entry of influenza viruses includes a number of steps in host cell infection. This chapter summarizes the current knowledge of the entry pathway and the role of the fusion protein of influenza virus, hemagglutinin, in this process.

Epstein-Barr Virus Entry [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2007
One of the many conundrums of herpesvirology is why a herpesvirus is so profligate in its use of four or more envelope glycoproteins for entry into a cell when other viruses can manage very well with only one or two. Profligacy does, however, have its advantages.

The role of cellular adhesion molecules in virus attachment and entry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses must traverse the host-cell plasma membrane to initiate infection. This presents a formidable barrier, which they have evolved diverse strategies to overcome.

Phosphoinositide-3 kinase-Akt pathway controls cellular entry of Ebola virus.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2008
The phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) pathway regulates diverse cellular activities related to cell growth, migration, survival, and vesicular trafficking. It is known that Ebola virus requires endocytosis to establish an infection.

Nectin-2 Acts as a Viral Entry Mediated Molecule That Binds to Human Herpesvirus 6B Glycoprotein B

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) is a T-lymphotropic virus and the etiological agent of exanthem subitum. HHV-6B is present in a latent or persistent form after primary infection and is produced in the salivary glands or transmitted to this organ.

Hepatitis C virus 3'UTR regulates viral translation through direct interactions with the host translation machinery. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) messenger RNA stimulates viral translation by an undetermined mechanism. We identified a high affinity interaction, conserved among different HCV genotypes, between the HCV 3'UTR and the host ...

Entry pathways of herpes simplex virus type 1 into human keratinocytes are dynamin- and cholesterol-dependent.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) can enter cells via endocytic pathways or direct fusion at the plasma membrane depending on the cell line and receptor(s).

The neck region of the C-type lectin DC-SIGN regulates its surface spatiotemporal organization and virus-binding capacity on antigen presenting cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The C-type lectin DC-SIGN expressed on dendritic cells (DCs) facilitates capture and internalization of a plethora of different pathogens. Although it is known that DC-SIGN organizes in nanoclusters at the surface of DCs, the molecular mechanisms ...
