Nature. 427:2004;313-319 A comparison of the crystal structures of the dengue virus envelope glycoprotein E in its pre- and post-fusion state highlights the conformational changes that drive membrane fusion. The paper also reveals the similarities to class I fusion proteins.

Conformational change and protein-protein interactions of the fusion protein of Semliki Forest virus. Nature. 427:2004;320-325 The structure of this class II viral fusion protein in its post-fusion state illustrates the protein folding reactions that mediate viral membrane fusion. On the basis of crystal contacts and electron microscopy, the paper suggests a model in which rings of five trimeric fusion proteins deform the membranes, leading to fusion pore formation.
