HUMAN RHINOVIRUS 16 COAT PROTEIN AT HIGH RESOLUTION
Overview
BACKGROUND: Rhinoviruses belong to the picornavirus family and are small, icosahedral, non-enveloped viruses containing one positive RNA strand., Human rhinovirus 16 (HRV16) belongs to the major receptor group of, rhinoviruses, for which the cellular receptor is intercellular adhesion, molecule-1 (ICAM-1). In many rhinoviruses, one of the viral coat proteins, (VP1) contains a hydrophobic pocket which is occupied by a fatty acid-like, molecule, or so-called 'pocket factor'. Antiviral agents have been shown, to bind to the hydrophobic pocket in VP1, replacing the pocket factor. The, presence of the antiviral compound blocks uncoating of the virus and in, some cases inhibits receptor attachment. A refined, high-resolution, structure would be expected to provide further information on the ... [(full description)]
