HSV1 glycoprotein D utilizes an LY6-like binding domain to inhibit alpha7 nicotinic receptors

Abstract Herpes virus1(HSV1) is a neurotropic virus that has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. An In-silico structural homology search using α -Bgtx, identified structural homology between HSV1 gD and the nicotinic receptor neurotoxin α-Bgtx. SPR binding studies using acetylcholine binding protein...
