Amino Acid 324 in the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus SIVmac V3 Loop Can Confer CD4 Independence and Modulate the Interaction with CCR5 and Alternative Coreceptors

Pöhlmann, Stefan, Davis, Carl, Meister, Silke, Leslie, George J., Otto, Claas, Reeves, Jacqueline D., ...

The V3 loop of the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) envelope protein (Env) largely determines interactions with viral coreceptors. To define amino acids in V3 that are critical for coreceptor...

S Protein of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Associated Coronavirus Mediates Entry into Hepatoma Cell Lines and Is Targeted by Neutralizing Antibodies in Infected Patients

Hofmann, Heike, Hattermann, Kim, Marzi, Andrea, Gramberg, Thomas, Geier, Martina, Krumbiegel, Mandy, ...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) causes severe pneumonia with a fatal outcome in approximately 10% of patients. SARS-CoV is not closely related to other...

DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR Interact with the Glycoprotein of Marburg Virus and the S Protein of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus

Marzi, Andrea, Gramberg, Thomas, Simmons, Graham, Möller, Peggy, Rennekamp, Andrew J., Krumbiegel, Mandy, ...

The lectins DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR can augment viral infection; however, the range of pathogens interacting with these attachment factors is incompletely defined. Here we show that DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR...

The Signal Peptide of the Ebolavirus Glycoprotein Influences Interaction with the Cellular Lectins DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR

Marzi, Andrea, Akhavan, Armin, Simmons, Graham, Gramberg, Thomas, Hofmann, Heike, Bates, Paul, ...

The C-type lectins DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR (collectively referred to as DC-SIGN/R) bind to the ebolavirus glycoprotein (EBOV-GP) and augment viral infectivity. DC-SIGN/R strongly enhance infection...

Highly Conserved Regions within the Spike Proteins of Human Coronaviruses 229E and NL63 Determine Recognition of Their Respective Cellular Receptors

Hofmann, Heike, Simmons, Graham, Rennekamp, Andrew J., Chaipan, Chawaree, Gramberg, Thomas, Heck, Elke, ...

We have recently demonstrated that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) receptor angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) also mediates cellular entry of the newly discovered...

DC-SIGN and CLEC-2 Mediate Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Capture by Platelets

Chaipan, Chawaree, Soilleux, Elizabeth J., Simpson, Peter, Hofmann, Heike, Gramberg, Thomas, Marzi, Andrea, ...

Platelets can engulf human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), and a significant amount of HIV-1 in the blood of infected individuals is associated with these cells. However, it is unclear how...

Proteolytic Activation of the 1918 Influenza Virus Hemagglutinin▿

Chaipan, Chawaree, Kobasa, Darwyn, Bertram, Stephanie, Glowacka, Ilona, Steffen, Imke, Solomon Tsegaye, Theodros, ...

Proteolytic activation of the hemagglutinin (HA) protein is indispensable for influenza virus infectivity, and the tissue expression of the responsible cellular proteases impacts viral tropism and...

Replication-Deficient Ebolavirus as a Vaccine Candidate▿

Halfmann, Peter, Ebihara, Hideki, Marzi, Andrea, Hatta, Yasuko, Watanabe, Shinji, Suresh, M., ...

Ebolavirus causes severe hemorrhagic fever, with case fatality rates as high as 90%. Currently, no licensed vaccine is available against Ebolavirus. We previously generated a replication-deficient,...
