The entry of enveloped viruses into its host cells is a crucial step for the propagation of viral
infection. The envelope glycoprotein complex controls viral tropism and promotes the …

The HIV Env glycoprotein is the surface glycoprotein responsible for viral entry into CD4+
immune cells. During infection, Env also serves as a primary target for antibody responses …

In virus-infected cells, the envelope glycoprotein (Env) precursor, gp160, of human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 is cleaved by cellular proteases into a fusion-competent …

During the export of flavivirus particles through the secretory pathway, a viral envelope
glycoprotein, prM, is cleaved by the proprotein convertase furin; this cleavage is required for …

Fluorogenic peptides encompassing the processing sites of envelope glycoproteins of the
infectious influenza A Hong Kong virus (HKV), Ebola virus (EBOV) and respiratory syncytial …

Proteolytic activation of HIV-1 and HIV-2 envelope glycoprotein precursors (gp160 and
gp140, respectively) occurs at the carboxyl side of a consensus motif consisting of the highly …

Efforts to understand the molecular basis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope
glycoprotein function have been hampered by the inability to generate sufficient quantities of …

In a multisubtype approach to HIV-1 vaccination, mice were immunized with HIV-1 envelope
gp160 genes from subtypes A, B, and C. Subsequently the mice were challenged with …

In HIV the viral envelope protein is processed by a host cell protease to form gp120 and
gp41. The C1 and C5 domains of gp120 are thought to directly interact with gp41 but are …

The subtilase subtilisin kexin isozyme‐1 (SKI‐1)/site 1 protease (S1P), has been implicated
in the processing of Lassa virus glycoprotein C (GP‐C) precursor into GP1 and GP2 that are …
