IFITM proteins restrict viral membrane hemifusion

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IFITM proteins suppress viral membrane fusion before the creation of hemifusion, and suggested that they may do so by reducing membrane fluidity and conferring a positive spontaneous curvature in the outer leaflets of cell membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Interferon-Inducible MxB Protein Inhibits HIV-1 Infection

TL;DR: The interferon-inducible myxovirus resistance (Mx) proteins play important roles in combating a wide range of virus infections, but the antiviral activity of MxB is less well established.
Journal ArticleDOI

The N-Terminal Region of IFITM3 Modulates Its Antiviral Activity by Regulating IFITM3 Cellular Localization

TL;DR: It is found that deleting this 21-amino-acid region relocates IFITM3 from the endosomal compartments to the cell periphery and suggests that its N-terminal region is specifically required for controlling pH-dependent viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

IFITM Proteins Restrict HIV-1 Infection by Antagonizing the Envelope Glycoprotein.

TL;DR: Overall, this study uncovers a mechanism by which IFITM proteins specifically antagonize HIV-1 Env to restrict HIV- 1 infection and provides insight into the specialized role of IFITMs in HIV infection.
