Envelope Glycoprotein of Arenaviruses
Arenaviruses include lethal human pathogens which pose serious public health threats. So far, no FDA approved vaccines are available against arenavirus infections, and therapeutic options are limited, making the identification of novel drug targets for the development of efficacious therapeutics an urgent need. Arenaviruses are comprised of two RNA genome segments and four proteins, the polymer...
متن کاملGlycoprotein H of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) forms a stable complex with the HCMV UL115 gene product.
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL75 gene product is the homologue of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein H (gH), a virion glycoprotein that is essential for infectivity and which is conserved among members of the alpha-, beta- and gamma-herpesviruses. It has previously been shown that HSV-1 gH forms a stable complex with HSV-1 gL, the product of the UL1 gene, and the formation of...
متن کاملIdentification of Aptamer-Binding Sites in Hepatitis C Virus Envelope Glycoprotein E2
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) encodes two envelope glycoproteins, E1 and E2. Our previous work selected a specific aptamer ZE2, which could bind to E2 with high affinity, with a great potential for developing new molecular probes as an early diagnostic reagents or therapeutic drugs targeting HCV. In this study, the binding sites between E2 and aptamer ZE2 were further explored. E2 was truncated to 15...
متن کاملRestricted Genetic Diversity of HIV-1 Subtype C Envelope Glycoprotein from Perinatally Infected Zambian Infants
BACKGROUND Mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 remains a significant problem in the resource-constrained settings where anti-retroviral therapy is still not widely available. Understanding the earliest events during HIV-1 transmission and characterizing the newly transmitted or founder virus is central to intervention efforts. In this study, we analyzed the viral env quasispecies of six mothe...
متن کاملMorphology and distribution of gp52 on extracellular human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) supports biochemical evidence that it represents the HCMV glycoprotein B.
Glycoprotein gp52 exists within the mature human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) envelope in heterodimeric, disulphide-linked complexes with glycoproteins gp95 and gp130. Biochemical studies involving immunoprecipitations and Western blots have demonstrated that gp52 is the glycoprotein B (gB) homologue of HCMV but that gp95 and gp130 are probably separate gene products. The distribution of this putativ...
