Publication Abstract from PubMed

Guanarito virus (GTOV) is an emergent and deadly pathogen. We present the crystal structure of the glycosylated GTOV fusion glycoprotein to 4.1 A-resolution, in the post-fusion conformation. Our structure reveals a classical six-helix bundle and presents direct verification that New World arenaviruses exhibit class-I viral membrane fusion machinery. The structure provides visualization of an N-linked glycocalyx coat and consideration of glycan dynamics reveals extensive coverage of the underlying protein surface, following virus-host membrane fusion.
