A virus takes an "L" turn to find its receptor
Abstract
Virus-receptor interaction represents a crucial step during virus entry. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Neu et al. (2010) identify a receptor motif that engages JC virus, a human polyomavirus known to cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in immunocompromised individuals.
