TLDR
Results indicate that reovirus binding to sialic acid enhances virus infection through adhesion of virus to the cell surface where access to a proteinaceous receptor is thermodynamically favored.

Junction Adhesion Molecule Is a Receptor for Reovirus

TL;DR: Reovirus interaction with cell-surface receptors is a critical determinant of both cell-type specific tropism and virus-induced intracellular signaling events that culminate in cell death.

The Attractions of Proteins for Small Molecules and Ions

TL;DR: The number and variety of known compounrjs between proteins and small molecules are increasing rapidly and make a fascinating story as discussed by the authors, and there are many compounds of serum albumin, which was used during the war by many chemists, most of whom found at least one 6ew compound.

HIV-1 entry into CD4+ cells is mediated by the chemokine receptor CC-CKR-5.

TL;DR: The β-chemokine receptor CC-CKR-5 as mentioned in this paper is a second receptor for NSI primary viruses, which allows env-mediated cell-cell membrane fusion, but it does not allow the fusion of cells from some HIV-1-exposed uninfected individuals.

CHEMOKINE RECEPTORS AS HIV-1 CORECEPTORS: Roles in Viral Entry, Tropism, and Disease

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR5, members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, have been identified as the principal coreceptors for T cell line-tropic and macrophagetropic HIV-1 isolates, respectively.

Leukocytes roll on a selectin at physiologic flow rates: Distinction from and prerequisite for adhesion through integrins

TL;DR: Rolling of leukocytes on vascular endothelial cells, an early event in inflammation, can be reproduced in vitro on artificial lipid bilayers containing purified CD62, a selectin also named PADGEM and GMP-140 that is inducible on endothelial Cells.

CD4-induced interaction of primary HIV-1 gp120 glycoproteins with the chemokine receptor CCR-5

TL;DR: It is suggested that HIV-1 attachment to CD4 creates a high-affinity binding site for CCR-5, leading to membrane fusion and virus entry.
