Idiosyncratic Mòjiāng virus attachment glycoprotein directs a host-cell entry pathway distinct from genetically related henipaviruses

The attachment glycoprotein (HNV-G) of henipaviruses interacts with host receptors at the cell surface and is a major determinant of species tropism. Here the authors provide structural and functional evidence that the emergent henipavirus, Mòjiang virus, uses an entry mechanism that is independent...

Sumario:The attachment glycoprotein (HNV-G) of henipaviruses interacts with host receptors at the cell surface and is a major determinant of species tropism. Here the authors provide structural and functional evidence that the emergent henipavirus, Mòjiang virus, uses an entry mechanism that is independent of known paramyoxviral cellular receptors.
