A target site for template-based design of measles virus entry inhibitors

Plemper, Richard K., Erlandson, Karl J., Lakdawala, Ami S., Sun, Aiming, Prussia, Andrew, Boonsombat, Jutatip, ...

Measles virus (MV) constitutes a principal cause of worldwide mortality, accounting for almost 1 million deaths annually. Although a live-attenuated vaccine protects against MV, vaccination...

Design of a Small-Molecule Entry Inhibitor with Activity against Primary Measles Virus Strains

Plemper, Richard K., Doyle, Joshua, Sun, Aiming, Prussia, Andrew, Cheng, Li-Ting, Rota, Paul A., ...

The incidence of measles virus (MV) infection has been significantly reduced in many nations through extensive vaccination; however, the virus still causes significant morbidity and mortality in...

Two Domains That Control Prefusion Stability and Transport Competence of the Measles Virus Fusion Protein

Doyle, Joshua, Prussia, Andrew, White, Laura K., Sun, Aiming, Liotta, Dennis C., Snyder, James P., ...

Most viral glycoproteins mediating membrane fusion adopt a metastable native conformation and undergo major conformational changes during fusion. We previously described a panel of compounds that...

Reversible Inhibition of the Fusion Activity of Measles Virus F Protein by an Engineered Intersubunit Disulfide Bridge▿

Lee, Jin K., Prussia, Andrew, Snyder, James P., Plemper, Richard K.

In search of target sites for the development of paramyxovirus inhibitors, we have engineered disulfide bridges to introduce covalent links into the prefusion F protein trimer of measles virus....

Regulation of Bestrophin Cl Channels by Calcium: Role of the C Terminus

Xiao, Qinghuan, Prussia, Andrew, Yu, Kuai, Cui, Yuan-yuan, Hartzell, H. Criss

Human bestrophin-1 (hBest1), which is genetically linked to several kinds of retinopathy and macular degeneration in both humans and dogs, is the founding member of a family of Cl− ion channels...

Functional Interaction between Paramyxovirus Fusion and Attachment Proteins*S⃞

Lee, Jin K., Prussia, Andrew, Paal, Tanja, White, Laura K., Snyder, James P., Plemper, Richard K.

Paramyxovirinae envelope glycoproteins constitute a premier model to dissect how specific and dynamic interactions in multisubunit membrane protein complexes can control deep-seated conformational...
