Glycan-induced structural activation softens the human papillomavirus capsid for entry through reduction of intercapsomere flexibility by Yuzhen Feng, Dominik van Bodegraven, Alan Kádek, Ignacio L. B. Munguira, Laura Soria-Martinez, Sarah Nentwich, Sreedeepa Saha, Florian Chardon, Daniel Kavan, Charlotte Uetrecht, Mario Schelhaas, Wouter H. Roos

“…Combining virological assays with hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, and atomic force microscopy, we investigate the effect of capsid-HS binding and structural activation. We show how HS-induced structural activation requires a minimal HS-chain length and simultaneous engagement of several binding sites by a single HS molecule. …”
