Conformational changes in the Ebola virus membrane fusion machine induced by pH, Ca2+, and receptor binding.

Conformational changes in the Ebola virus membrane fusion machine induced by pH, Ca2+, and receptor binding.

The Ebola virus (EBOV) envelope glycoprotein (GP) is a membrane fusion machine required for virus entry into cells. Following endocytosis of EBOV, the GP1 domain is cleaved by cellular cathepsins in acidic endosomes, removing the glycan cap and exposing a binding site for the Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1)...
