The Many Mechanisms of Viral Membrane Fusion Proteins 2005 .txt text/plain 12130 702 50 Despite their differences, common principles for how fusion proteins function are emerging: In response to an activating trigger, the metastable fusion protein converts to an extended, in some cases rodlike structure, which inserts into the target membrane via its fusion peptide. Although several viral fusion proteins, such as influenza hemagglutinin (HA) and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein (Env), have emerged as paradigms, it is important to realize that there are many distinguishing features among viral fusion proteins (Table 1 ). We now review a lipid rearrangement model and focus on the roles of different regions of viral fusion proteins in choreographing the structural changes that the membranes undergo throughout the fusion cascade (Fig. 3) .
