  1. ncbi The three faces of paramyxovirus attachment proteins
    T G Morrison
    Dept of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, 55 Lake Avenue North, Worcester, MA 01655, USA
    Trends Microbiol 9:103-5. 2001
    ..The recent report of the structure of a paramyxovirus attachment protein should clarify the mechanism of cell entry by these viruses...
  2. ncbi Inhibition of receptor binding stabilizes Newcastle disease virus HN and F protein-containing complexes
    L W McGinnes
    Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, 55 Lake Ave North, Worcester, Massachusetts 01655, USA
    J Virol 80:2894-903. 2006
    ..Furthermore, the results show that not only receptor binding but also F protein cleavage are necessary for disassociation of the HN and F protein-containing complexes...
  3. ncbi Mutational analysis of the membrane proximal heptad repeat of the newcastle disease virus fusion protein
    L W McGinnes
    Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, 55 Lake Avenue North, Worcester, Massachusetts 01532, USA
    Virology 289:343-52. 2001
    ..These results also suggest that the HR2 domain, particularly the carboxyl-terminal region, plays an additional role in fusion, a role related to content mixing and syncytia formation...
  4. ncbi Role of the cytoplasmic domain of the Newcastle disease virus fusion protein in association with lipid rafts
    V Dolganiuc
    Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology. Department of Cell Biology. Program in Virology and Immunology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts 01655, USA
    J Virol 77:12968-79. 2003
    ..The results presented here raise the possibility that the cytoplasmic domain is important in virus assembly at least in part because it directs the protein to cholesterol-rich membrane domains...

    Kathryn A Gravel
    Department of Microbiology and Physiological Systems Program in Immunology and Virology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA 01655, USA
    J Virol 85:3486-97. 2011
    ..These results show that the specific sequence of the TM domain of the NDV F protein is important for the conformation of the preactivation form of the ectodomain, the interactions of the protein with HN protein, and fusion activity...

    Lori W McGinnes

    Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts 01655, USA
    J Virol 75:7934-43. 2001
    ..We also found that mutations within the fusion peptide, at residue 128, can interfere with folding of the protein, implicating this region in folding of the molecule. No characterized mutation enhanced fusion...
