Herpes simplex virus enhances chemokine function through modulation of receptor trafficking and oligomerization

Martinez-Martin, Nadia ; Viejo-Borbolla, Abel ; Martín, Rocío ; Soledad, Blanco ; Benovic, Jeffrey L. ; Thelen, Marcus ; Alcamí, Antonio

Glycoprotein G (gG) from herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2, important human neurotropic pathogens) is the first viral chemokine-binding protein found to potentiate chemokine function. Here we show that gG attaches to cell surface glycosaminoglycans and induces lipid raft clustering, increasing the incorporation of CXCR4 receptors into these microdomains. gG induces conformational...

Viruses with membranes fuse them with cellular membranes, to transfer their genomes into cells at the beginning of infection. For Influenza virus, the membrane glycoprotein involved in fusion is the hemagglutinin (HA), the 3D structure of which is known from X-ray crystallographic studies. The soluble ectodomain fragments used in these studies lacked the “membrane anchor” portion of the...
