CryoEM structure of adenovirus type 3 fibre with desmoglein 2 shows an unusual mode of receptor engagement
Human adenoviruses (HAd) cause respiratory, gastrointestinal and ocular infections. Here, the authors provide insights into the early stages of adenovirus infection by determining the cryo-EM structure of the trimeric HAd type 3 fibre knob bound to its cellular receptor human desmoglein 2, which rev...
