Structure-function analysis of soluble forms of herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D

Immunogenicity and Efficacy of Baculovirus Derived Glycoprotein D of Herpes Simplex Virus Type-I in Mice

Crystal structure of glycoprotein B from herpes simplex virus 1.

Glycoprotein B (gB) is the most conserved component of the complex cell-entry machinery of herpes viruses. A crystal structure of the gB ectodomain from herpes simplex virus type 1 reveals a multidomain trimer with unexpected homology to glycoprotein G from vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV G). An alpha-helical coiled-coil core relates gB to class I viral membrane fusion glycoproteins; two extend...

Structure of Herpes Simplex Virus Glycoprotein D Bound to the Human Receptor Nectin-1

Binding of herpes simplex virus (HSV) glycoprotein D (gD) to a cell surface receptor is required to trigger membrane fusion during entry into host cells. Nectin-1 is a cell adhesion molecule and the main HSV receptor in neurons and epithelial cells. We report the structure of gD bound to nectin-1 determined by x-ray crystallography to 4.0 Å resolution. The structure reveals that the nectin-1 bi...

Disulfide bond structure determination and biochemical analysis of glycoprotein C from herpes simplex virus.

A biochemical analysis of glycoprotein C (gC of herpes simplex virus was undertaken to further characterize the structure of the glycoprotein and to determine its disulfide bond arrangement. We used three recombinant forms of gC, gC1(457t), gC1(delta33-123t), and gC2(426t), each truncated prior to the transmembrane region. The proteins were expressed and secreted by using a baculovirus expressi...
