Huge congrats toย Michael Katzย for an amazing paper in Cell Host & Microbe! This study maps how the Lassa virus spike changes shape to enter cellsโ€”and how a small molecule stops it. A tour-de-force in structural virology.ย authors.elsevier.com/a/1liBj6t8JEucโ€ฆย ๐Ÿ‘

5/5 We're excited to share these insights into how the Sabiรก virus invades host cells. Understanding itsย ion- and pH-regulated entryย could inform antiviral strategiesโ€”especially for other New World arenaviruses.

4/5 We also found that Sabiรกโ€™s spike showsย pH-dependent receptor bindingโ€”unlike other genetically close arenaviruses. This suggests a potential need for aย secondary intracellular receptor, and a more elaborate entry mechanism than previously known.

1/5 Our lab's latest work just published inย Nature Microbiology! ๐Ÿฅณย Huge credit to Hadas Cohen-Dvashi for leading this. We report the first full structure of the Sabiรก virus spike proteinโ€”revealing how this deadly arenavirus gains entry into cells. ๐Ÿ‘‰ย rdcu.be/eyPBk

The HERV-K spike has a role during embryonic development and is associated with various diseases like cancer, ALS, and viral infections, making it an interesting and promising drug target. Having this structure may enable the development of novel therapeutics.

An ancient virus that became part of the human genome has now been structurally characterized by Ron Shaked. Congratulations on revealing the HERV-K spike structure! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnโ€ฆ

Not to be alarmist butโ€ฆthis is whatโ€™s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica. Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event. Hang onto your hats. HT @EliotJacobson
