The Structural Biology Of Type I Viral Membrane Fusion

Di: Henry

Abstract Recent work has identified three distinct classes of viral membrane fusion proteins based on structural criteria. In addition, there are at least four distinct mechanisms by Accumulating structural studies of viral fusion glycoproteins have revealed unanticipated structural relationships between unrelated virus families and allowed the

This study delineates the full sequence of SARS-CoV-2 spike-mediated membrane fusion and shows how S2-targeting antibodies inhibit this process, using a near-native Hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein is an important focus of influenza research due to its role in antigenic drift and shift, as well as its receptor binding and membrane fusion functions, which The viral fusogens experience drastic structural rearrangements during fusion, releasing the energy required to overcome the repulsive forces that prevent spontaneous

3.1.1 Definition of Class III Fusion Proteins Viral membrane fusion proteins have been grouped into three classes (class I, II and III) based on their key structural features. The proteins Membrane fusion, one of the most essential processes in the life of eukaryotes, occurs when two separate lipid bilayers merge into a continuous bilayer and internal contents

Fusogens: Current Biology

As membrane fusion involves conformational changes in fusion proteins that facilitate the merger of lipid bilayers, structural biology techniques enable the characterization of these Such peptides are able to interact and insert into membranes for which they hold interest from a pharmacological or therapeutic viewpoint. Here, the different characteristics of

Ultimately, these structural rearrangements lead to viral-cell membrane merging, fusion pore formation and enlargement, and injection of the ribonucleocapsid complex into the host is necessary for cell Membrane fusion is an essential process for the survival of eukaryotes and the entry of enveloped viruses into host cells. A proper understanding of the mechanism of

Accumulating structural studies of viral fusion glycoproteins have revealed unanticipated structural relationships between unrelated virus families and allowed the grouping of these membrane Viral fusion machinery is comprised of fusion proteins, viral membrane, and internal structural components such as matrix proteins that regulate fusion protein conformation and

The stable postfusion structure of S2 forms and effectively drags the viral and cell membranes close together, which leads to the creation of a fusion pore and ultimately to SARS-CoV-2 entry.

The stable postfusion structure of S2 forms and effectively drags the viral and cell membranes close together, which leads to the creation of a fusion pore and ultimately to SARS Viral fusion proteins are also major targets of neutralizing antibodies, and hence they serve as key vaccine immunogens. Here we review current concepts about viral membrane fusion proteins Infection by viruses having lipid-bilayer envelopes proceeds through fusion of the viral membrane with a membrane of the target cell. Viral ‚fusion proteins‘ facilitate this process. They vary

Mechanism of Membrane Fusion: Interplay of Lipid and Peptide

Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular organization of cell membranes, the atomic structure of viral proteins, and their interactions with receptor Membrane fusion, one of the most fundamental processes in life, occurs when two separate lipid membranes merge into a single continuous bilayer. Fusion reactions share common features, A hydrophobic segment (a “fusion loop” or “fusion peptide”) engages the target-cell membrane and collapse of the bridging intermediate thus formed draws the two membranes

Structure–function studies have defined two classes of viral membrane-fusion proteins that have radically different architectures but adopt a similar overall ‚hairpin‘ Members of class III of viral fusion proteins share common structural features and molecular architecture, although they belong to evolutionary distant viruses and carry no sequence

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fusion: atlastins mediate fusion between ER tubules, which is necessary for host cell Membrane fusion maintaining the structure and function of the ER. Vesicular transport: We also show that the viral membrane fuses with the host cytoplasmic membrane in a process mediated by VP5. This sheds light on protein structures involved in prokaryotic

These viral fusion intermediates provide mechanistic insights into class III viral fusion processes, opening avenues for future research and structure- based design of fusion The structure and function of type I viral fusion proteins and mechanisms of protein-mediated membrane fusion are reviewed and how recent technological advances and new biophysical
