Title: Filovirus Entry: A Novelty in the Viral Fusion World Document date: 2012_2_7
ID: 1j9zmuub_6
Snippet: As a class I viral fusion protein, GP 1,2 exists as a trimer of GP 1 and GP 2 heterodimeric subunits and is found in its full-length, heavily glycosylated, pre-fusion form on the surface of newly budded virions. This pre-fusion class I glycoprotein conformation is thought to be a metastable state, that upon the appropriate set of triggers, will convert to its post-fusion, low-energy form [6] . The conformational change from a pre-fusion to post-f.....
Document: As a class I viral fusion protein, GP 1,2 exists as a trimer of GP 1 and GP 2 heterodimeric subunits and is found in its full-length, heavily glycosylated, pre-fusion form on the surface of newly budded virions. This pre-fusion class I glycoprotein conformation is thought to be a metastable state, that upon the appropriate set of triggers, will convert to its post-fusion, low-energy form [6] . The conformational change from a pre-fusion to post-fusion structure provides the energy to permit the viral and cellular membranes to fuse and thereby release the viral core into the cytoplasm. The events that are required for filovirus/cellular membrane fusion to occur have yet to be completely elucidated, but current studies are unraveling these steps and are highlighted here.
