Structural basis for membrane fusion by enveloped viruses.
Enveloped viruses such as HIV-1, influenza virus, and Ebola virus express a surface glycoprotein that mediates both cell attachment and fusion of viral and cellular membranes. The membrane fusion process leads to the release of viral proteins and the RNA genome into the host cell, initiating an infectious cycle. This review focuses on the HIV-1 gp41 membrane fusion protein and discusses the str...
متن کاملStructural basis for TetM-mediated tetracycline resistance.
Ribosome protection proteins (RPPs) confer tetracycline resistance by binding to the ribosome and chasing the drug from its binding site. The current model for the mechanism of action of RPPs proposes that drug release is indirect and achieved via conformational changes within the drug-binding site induced upon binding of the RPP to the ribosome. Here we report a cryo-EM structure of the RPP Te...
متن کاملStructural Basis of Eukaryotic Cell-Cell Fusion
Cell-cell fusion proteins are essential in development. Here we show that the C. elegans cell-cell fusion protein EFF-1 is structurally homologous to viral class II fusion proteins. The 2.6 Å crystal structure of the EFF-1 trimer displays the same 3D fold and quaternary conformation of postfusion class II viral fusion proteins, although it lacks a nonpolar "fusion loop," indicating that it does...
متن کاملA molecular basis for synexin-driven, calcium-dependent membrane fusion.
Membranes of secretory vesicles fuse with each other and with plasma membranes during exocytosis in many different cell types. The probable role of calcium in the process is now widely accepted, and it is possible that at least one cytosolic mediator of calcium action is synexin. Synexin is a 47,000 Mr calcium-binding protein, initially discovered in the bovine adrenal medulla, which binds to g...
متن کاملThe Structural Basis of Membrane Function
This volume is the forty-seventh addition to the History of Medicine Series of the Library of the New York Academy of Medicine. Being a member of a series, it does not attempt to survey the field of the history of medicine. It does, however, offer a range of colorful and interesting works whose topics span the breadth of both subject and time. For lovers of the ancients, there are pieces on Gal...
