The crystal structure of a simian Foamy Virus receptor binding domain provides clues about entry into host cells

Foamy viruses are ancient retroviruses that are prevalent in non-human primates. Fernández et al. report an X-ray structure of a protein domain from a simian Foamy virus that mediates the attachment to cells, providing insights into viral entry.
