Structural Changes of Envelope Proteins During Alphavirus Fusion

Alphaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses that have a diameter of about 700 Å and can be lethal human pathogens1 (Fig. 1). Entry of virus into host cells by endocytosis is controlled by two envelope glycoproteins, E1 and E2. The E2-E1 heterodimers form 80 trimeric spikes on the icosahedral virus surfac...
