The late endosome-resident lipid bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate is a cofactor for Lassa virus fusion.
Arenavirus entry into host cells occurs through a low pH-dependent fusion with late endosomes that is mediated by the viral glycoprotein complex (GPC). The mechanisms of GPC-mediated membrane fusion and of virus targeting to late endosomes are not well understood. To gain insights into arenavirus fu...
