Ari Helenius launched the field of enveloped virus fusion in endosomes with a seminal
paper in the Journal of Cell Biology in 1980. In the intervening years, a great deal has been …

Enveloped viruses infect cells by a mechanism involving membrane fusion. This process is
mediated and triggered by specific viral membrane glycoproteins. Evidence is accumulating …

Enveloped viruses infect host cells by a membrane fusion reaction that takes place at the
cell surface or in intracellular compartments following virus uptake. Fusion is mediated by …

Membrane fusion of enveloped viruses with cellular membranes is mediated by viral
glycoproteins (GP). Interaction of GP with cellular receptors alone or coupled to exposure to …

Membrane fusion is an essential step when enveloped viruses enter cells. Lipid bilayer
fusion requires catalysis to overcome a high kinetic barrier; viral fusion proteins are the …

Viruses are intracellular parasites that hijack the cellular machinery for their own replication.
Therefore, an obligatory step in the virus life cycle is the delivery of the viral genome inside …

Enveloped viruses penetrate their cell targets following the merging of their membrane with
that of the cell. This fusion process is catalyzed by one or several viral glycoproteins …

Publisher Summary Enveloped viruses enter cells by fusing their lipid bilayer membrane
with a cellular membrane. Most viral fusion proteins require priming by proteolytic …

To infect mammalian cells, enveloped viruses have to deposit their nucleocapsids into the
cytoplasm of a host cell. Membrane fusion represents a key element in this entry …

Fusion proteins from a group of widely disparate viruses, including the paramyxovirus F
protein, the HIV and SIV gp160 proteins, the retroviral Env protein, the Ebola virus Gp, and …
