The channel-forming activity of a family of small, hydrophobic integral membrane proteins
termed 'viroporins' is essential to the life cycles of an increasingly diverse range of RNA and …

Many viral genomes encode small, integral membrane proteins that form homo-oligomeric
channels in membrane, and they transport protons, cations, and other molecules across the …

Viroporins are virally encoded transmembrane proteins that are essential for viral
pathogenicity and can participate in various stages of the viral life cycle, thereby promoting …

Viroporins are small, hydrophobic proteins that are encoded by a wide range of clinically
relevant animal viruses. When these proteins oligomerize in host cell membranes, they form …

Eukaryotic cells have evolved a myriad of ion channels, transporters, and pumps to maintain
and regulate transmembrane ion gradients. As intracellular parasites, viruses also have …

Modification of host-cell ionic content is a significant issue for viruses, as several viral
proteins displaying ion channel activity, named viroporins, have been identified. Viroporins …

Influenza is a highly contagious virus that causes seasonal epidemics and unpredictable
pandemics. Four influenza virus types have been identified to date: A, B, C and D, with only …

The virus‐encoded viroporins are known to modify membrane permeability and play an
essential role in virus budding. Here, a comparative analysis of the membrane …

Viroporins are small hydrophobic viral proteins that oligomerize to form aqueous pores on
cellular membranes. Studies in recent years have demonstrated that viroporins serve …

Viroporins are a family of low-molecular-weight hydrophobic transmembrane proteins that
are encoded by various animal viruses. Viroporins form transmembrane pores in host cells …
