  text: Bacteria, like eukaryotes, use conserved cytoskeletal systems for intracellular
    organization. The plasmid-encoded ParMRC system forms actin-like filaments that
    segregate low–copy number plasmids. In multicellular cyanobacteria such as Anabaena
    sp., we found that a chromosomally encoded ParMR system has evolved into a cytoskeletal
    system named CorMR with a function in cell shape control rather than DNA segregation.
    Live-cell imaging, in vitro reconstitution, and cryo–electron microscopy revealed
    that CorM formed dynamically unstable, antiparallel double-stranded filaments
    that were recruited to the membrane by CorR through an amphipathic helix conserved
    in multicellular cyanobacteria. CorMR filaments were regulated by MinC, which
    excluded them from the poles and division plane. Comparative genomics indicated
    that the repurposing of ParMR and Min systems coevolved with cyanobacterial multicellularity,
    highlighting the evolutionary plasticity of cytoskeletal systems in bacteria.

  text: Super-resolution microscopy often entails long acquisition times of minutes
    to hours. Since drifts during the acquisition adversely affect data quality, active
    sample stabilization is commonly used for some of these techniques to reach their
    full potential. Although drifts in the lateral plane can often be corrected after
    acquisition, this is not always possible or may come with drawbacks. Therefore,
    it is appealing to stabilize sample position in three dimensions (3D) during acquisition.
    Various schemes for active sample stabilization have been demonstrated previously,
    with some reaching sub-nanometer stability in 3D. Here, we present a scheme for
    active drift correction that delivers the nanometer-scale 3D stability demanded
    by state-of-the-art super-resolution techniques and is straightforward to implement
    compared to previous schemes capable of reaching this level of stabilization precision.
    Using a refined algorithm that can handle various types of reference structure,
    without sparse signal peaks being mandatory, we stabilized sample position to
    ∼1 nm in 3D using objective lenses both with high and low numerical aperture.
    Our implementation requires only the addition of a simple widefield imaging path
    and we provide an open-source control software with graphical user interface to
    facilitate easy adoption of the module. Finally, we demonstrate how this has the
    potential to enhance data collection for diffraction-limited and super-resolution
    imaging techniques using single-molecule localization microscopy and cryo-confocal
    imaging as showcases.

  text: The Huntingtin protein (HTT), named for its role in Huntington’s disease,
    has been best understood as a scaffolding protein that promotes vesicle transport
    by molecular motors along microtubules. Here, we show that HTT also interacts
    with the actin cytoskeleton, and its loss of function disturbs the morphology
    and function of the axonal growth cone. We demonstrate that HTT organizes F-actin
    into bundles. Cryo–electron tomography (cryo-ET) and subtomogram averaging (STA)
    structural analyses reveal that HTT’s N-terminal HEAT and Bridge domains wrap
    around F-actin, while the C-terminal HEAT domain is displaced; furthermore, HTT
    dimerizes via the N-HEAT domain to bridge parallel actin filaments separated by
    ~20 nanometers. Our study provides the structural basis for understanding how
    HTT interacts with and organizes the actin cytoskeleton.

  text: Human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) immature particles differ in morphology
    from other retroviruses, suggesting a distinct way of assembly. Here we report
    the results of cryo-electron tomography studies of HTLV-1 virus-like particles
    assembled in vitro, as well as derived from cells. This work shows that HTLV-1
    uses a distinct mechanism of Gag–Gag interactions to form the immature viral lattice.
    Analysis of high-resolution structural information from immature capsid (CA) tubular
    arrays reveals that the primary stabilizing component in HTLV-1 is the N-terminal
    domain of CA. Mutagenesis analysis supports this observation. This distinguishes
    HTLV-1 from other retroviruses, in which the stabilization is provided primarily
    by the C-terminal domain of CA. These results provide structural details of the
    quaternary arrangement of Gag for an immature deltaretrovirus and this helps explain
    why HTLV-1 particles are morphologically distinct.

  text: Poxviruses are among the largest double-stranded DNA viruses, with members
    such as variola virus, monkeypox virus and the vaccination strain vaccinia virus
    (VACV). Knowledge about the structural proteins that form the viral core has remained
    sparse. While major core proteins have been annotated via indirect experimental
    evidence, their structures have remained elusive and they could not be assigned
    to individual core features. Hence, which proteins constitute which layers of
    the core, such as the palisade layer and the inner core wall, has remained enigmatic.
    Here we show, using a multi-modal cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) approach
    in combination with AlphaFold molecular modeling, that trimers formed by the cleavage
    product of VACV protein A10 are the key component of the palisade layer. This
    allows us to place previously obtained descriptions of protein interactions within
    the core wall into perspective and to provide a detailed model of poxvirus core
    architecture. Importantly, we show that interactions within A10 trimers are likely
    generalizable over members of orthopox- and parapoxviruses.

  text: The extracellular matrix (ECM) serves as a scaffold for cells and plays an
    essential role in regulating numerous cellular processes, including cell migration
    and proliferation. Due to limitations in specimen preparation for conventional
    room-temperature electron microscopy, we lack structural knowledge on how ECM
    components are secreted, remodeled, and interact with surrounding cells. We have
    developed a 3D-ECM platform compatible with sample thinning by cryo-focused ion
    beam milling, the lift-out extraction procedure, and cryo-electron tomography.
    Our workflow implements cell-derived matrices (CDMs) grown on EM grids, resulting
    in a versatile tool closely mimicking ECM environments. This allows us to visualize
    ECM for the first time in its hydrated, native context. Our data reveal an intricate
    network of extracellular fibers, their positioning relative to matrix-secreting
    cells, and previously unresolved structural entities. Our workflow and results
    add to the structural atlas of the ECM, providing novel insights into its secretion
    and assembly.

  text: Poxviruses are large pleomorphic double-stranded DNA viruses that include
    well known members such as variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, Mpox
    virus, as well as Vaccinia virus (VACV), which serves as a vaccination strain
    for formerly mentioned viruses. VACV is a valuable model for studying large pleomorphic
    DNA viruses in general and poxviruses specifically, as many features, such as
    core morphology and structural proteins, are well conserved within this family.
    Despite decades of research, our understanding of the structural components and
    proteins that comprise the poxvirus core in mature virions remains limited. Although
    major core proteins were identified via indirect experimental evidence, the core's
    complexity, with its large size, structure and number of involved proteins, has
    hindered efforts to achieve high-resolution insights and to define the roles of
    the individual proteins. The specific protein composition of the core's individual
    layers, including the palisade layer and the inner core wall, has remained unclear.
    In this study, we have merged multiple approaches, including single particle cryo
    electron microscopy of purified virus cores, cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram
    averaging of mature virions and molecular modeling to elucidate the structural
    determinants of the VACV core. Due to the lack of experimentally derived structures,
    either in situ or reconstituted in vitro, we used Alphafold to predict models
    of the putative major core protein candidates, A10, 23k, A3, A4, and L4. Our results
    show that the VACV core is composed of several layers with varying local symmetries,
    forming more intricate interactions than observed previously. This allowed us
    to identify several molecular building blocks forming the viral core lattice.
    In particular, we identified trimers of protein A10 as a major core structure
    that forms the palisade layer of the viral core. Additionally, we revealed that
    six petals of a flower shaped core pore within the core wall are composed of A10
    trimers. Furthermore, we obtained a cryo-EM density for the inner core wall that
    could potentially accommodate an A3 dimer. Integrating descriptions of protein
    interactions from previous studies enabled us to provide a detailed structural
    model of the poxvirus core wall, and our findings indicate that the interactions
    within A10 trimers are likely consistent across orthopox- and parapoxviruses.
    This combined application of cryo-SPA and cryo-ET can help overcome obstacles
    in studying complex virus structures in the future, including their key assembly
    proteins, interactions, and the formation into a core lattice. Our work provides
    important fundamental new insights into poxvirus core architecture, also considering
    the recent re-emergence of poxviruses.

  text: The assembly of biomolecular condensate in eukaryotic cells and the accumulation
    of amyloid deposits in neurons are processes involving the nucleation and growth
    (NAG) of new protein phases. To therapeutically target protein phase separation,
    drug candidates are tested in in vitro assays that monitor the increase in the
    mass or size of the new phase. Limited mechanistic insight is, however, provided
    if empirical or untestable kinetic models are fitted to these progress curves.
    Here we present the web server NAGPKin that quantifies NAG rates using mass-based
    or size-based progress curves as the input data. A report is generated containing
    the fitted NAG parameters and elucidating the phase separation mechanisms at play.
    The NAG parameters can be used to predict particle size distributions of, for
    example, protein droplets formed by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) or amyloid
    fibrils formed by protein aggregation. Because minimal intervention is required
    from the user, NAGPKin is a good platform for standardized reporting of LLPS and
    protein self-assembly data. NAGPKin is useful for drug discovery as well as for
    fundamental studies on protein phase separation. NAGPKin is freely available (no
    login required) at https://nagpkin.i3s.up.pt .

  text: "The Retroviridae family consists of two sub-families, the Orthoretrovirinae
    and the\r\nSpumaretrovirinae. The Orthoretroviruses contain important human pathogens,
    such as the\r\nhuman immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1). They also harbor other
    retrovirus species which\r\nare regularly used as model systems to study the retroviral
    life cycle. The main structural\r\ncomponent of the retroviruses, is the Gag protein
    and its truncation derivatives occurring\r\nduring viral maturation. Orthoretroviral
    Gag assemblies have been extensively studied to\r\nunderstand the interactions
    that confer stability and morphology to viral particles.\r\nThe Spumaretrovirinae
    subfamily represent an early diverging branch of the Retroviridae.\r\nIts members,
    the Foamy viruses (FV), share most of the conventional features found in\r\nretroviruses.
    However, they also possess multiple characteristics that make them unique. In\r\nparticular,
    FV Gag does not get extensively cleaved as in orthoretroviruses. Hence, the Gag\r\narchitecture
    deviates from the canonical domain arrangement in FV. They also exhibit a\r\npeculiar
    particle morphology, having no apparent immature state and a seemingly\r\nicosahedral
    mature particle. Due to this, many fundamental questions on FV structural\r\nassembly
    mechanisms remain open. To answer these questions, was the main focus of this\r\nthesis.\r\nMainly,
    it is not known how FV assemble their core in a virus particle and what are the\r\nimportant
    assembly interaction sites within said core. What is the minimum assembly\r\ncompetent
    domain of FV Gag? Is there a morphological change in the assembly type of FVGag
    lattices? If so, what is defining these morphological shifts? Finally, it would
    be\r\ninteresting to know what is the evolutionary relationship between FV and
    the rest of the\r\nretrotranscribing elements, from a structural point of view?\r\nTo
    answer these questions, membrane-enveloped mammalian cell-derived FV virus-like\r\nparticles
    (VLPs) were produced. Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) analysis suggested\r\nthese
    FV VLPs do not form a canonical retroviral Gag lattice structure, which is in
    line with\r\nearlier observations. To further evaluate FV Gag assembly competence
    and morphology,\r\nthe first bacterial cell-derived in vitro VLP assembly system
    was designed and optimized.\r\nUsing this system with different truncation variants,
    the minimum assembly competent\r\ndomain of FV Gag was found to be the putative
    CA300-477 domain. Varying VLP\r\nmorphologies were also observed and strongly
    suggested residues upstream of CA300-477\r\nplay a role in morphology determination.
    Finally, a combined cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) and cryo-ET approach was
    taken to analyze tubular assemblies from the minimal\r\nassembly competent domain.
    This revealed an unexpectedly unique non-canonical\r\nassembly architecture. Three
    novel lattice stabilizing interfaces were described which\r\nproved to be as unique
    as the lattice arrangement. Comparison to a newly published FV CA\r\ncore structure
    revealed the CA-CA interactions in the atypical assembly do not recapitulate\r\nwhat
    is described for the FV core lattice. However, the new in vitro VLP assembly system\r\nobtained
    in this thesis also provides an exciting opportunity to study still unresolved
    FV\r\nassembly features in a potentially facilitated approach compared to conventional
    methods.\r\nIn summary, this work provided a deeper understanding of the basic
    FV Gag assembly unit,\r\nas well as presenting the first FV Gag-derived in vitro
    VLP assembly system. This system\r\nreveals a novel and unique assembly architecture
    among retroviral in vitro assemblies."

  text: Regulation of the Arp2/3 complex is required for productive nucleation of
    branched actin networks. An emerging aspect of regulation is the incorporation
    of subunit isoforms into the Arp2/3 complex. Specifically, both ArpC5 subunit
    isoforms, ArpC5 and ArpC5L, have been reported to fine-tune nucleation activity
    and branch junction stability. We have combined reverse genetics and cellular
    structural biology to describe how ArpC5 and ArpC5L differentially affect cell
    migration. Both define the structural stability of ArpC1 in branch junctions and,
    in turn, by determining protrusion characteristics, affect protein dynamics and
    actin network ultrastructure. ArpC5 isoforms also affect the positioning of members
    of the Ena/Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) family of actin filament
    elongators, which mediate ArpC5 isoform–specific effects on the actin assembly
    level. Our results suggest that ArpC5 and Ena/VASP proteins are part of a signaling
    pathway enhancing cell migration.</jats:p>

  text: The actin cytoskeleton plays a key role in cell migration and cellular morphodynamics
    in most eukaryotes. The ability of the actin cytoskeleton to assemble and disassemble
    in a spatiotemporally controlled manner allows it to form higher-order structures,
    which can generate forces required for a cell to explore and navigate through
    its environment. It is regulated not only via a complex synergistic and competitive
    interplay between actin-binding proteins (ABP), but also by filament biochemistry
    and filament geometry. The lack of structural insights into how geometry and ABPs
    regulate the actin cytoskeleton limits our understanding of the molecular mechanisms
    that define actin cytoskeleton remodeling and, in turn, impact emerging cell migration
    characteristics. With the advent of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and advanced
    computational methods, it is now possible to define these molecular mechanisms
    involving actin and its interactors at both atomic and ultra-structural levels
    in vitro and in cellulo. In this review, we will provide an overview of the available
    cryo-EM methods, applicable to further our understanding of the actin cytoskeleton,
    specifically in the context of cell migration. We will discuss how these methods
    have been employed to elucidate ABP- and geometry-defined regulatory mechanisms
    in initiating, maintaining, and disassembling cellular actin networks in migratory
    protrusions.

  text: Toscana virus is a major cause of arboviral disease in humans in the Mediterranean
    basin during summer. However, early virus-host cell interactions and entry mechanisms
    remain poorly characterized. Investigating iPSC-derived human neurons and cell
    lines, we found that virus binding to the cell surface was specific, and 50% of
    bound virions were endocytosed within 10 min. Virions entered Rab5a+ early endosomes
    and, subsequently, Rab7a+ and LAMP-1+ late endosomal compartments. Penetration
    required intact late endosomes and occurred within 30 min following internalization.
    Virus entry relied on vacuolar acidification, with an optimal pH for viral membrane
    fusion at pH 5.5. The pH threshold increased to 5.8 with longer pre-exposure of
    virions to the slightly acidic pH in early endosomes. Strikingly, the particles
    remained infectious after entering late endosomes with a pH below the fusion threshold.
    Overall, our study establishes Toscana virus as a late-penetrating virus and reveals
    an atypical use of vacuolar acidity by this virus to enter host cells.

  text: "Regulation of the Arp2/3 complex is required for productive nucleation of
    branched actin networks. An emerging aspect of regulation is the incorporation
    of subunit isoforms into the Arp2/3 complex. Specifically, both ArpC5 subunit
    isoforms, ArpC5 and ArpC5L, have been reported to fine-tune nucleation activity
    and branch junction stability. We have combined reverse genetics and cellular
    structural biology to describe how ArpC5 and ArpC5L differentially affect cell
    migration. Both define the structural stability of ArpC1 in branch junctions and,
    in turn, by determining protrusion characteristics, affect protein dynamics and
    actin network ultrastructure. ArpC5 isoforms also affect the positioning of members
    of the Ena/Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) family of actin filament
    elongators, which mediate ArpC5 isoform–specific effects on the actin assembly
    level. Our results suggest that ArpC5 and Ena/VASP proteins are part of a signaling
    pathway enhancing cell migration.\r\n"

  text: The next steps of deep space exploration are manned missions to Moon and Mars.
    For safe space missions for crew members, it is important to understand the impact
    of space flight on the immune system. We studied the effects of 21 days dry immersion
    (DI) exposure on the transcriptomes of T cells isolated from blood samples of
    eight healthy volunteers. Samples were collected 7 days before DI, at day 7, 14,
    and 21 during DI, and 7 days after DI. RNA sequencing of CD3+T cells revealed
    transcriptional alterations across all time points, with most changes occurring
    14 days after DI exposure. At day 21, T cells showed evidence of adaptation with
    a transcriptional profile resembling that of 7 days before DI. At 7 days after
    DI, T cells again changed their transcriptional profile. These data suggest that
    T cells adapt by rewiring their transcriptomes in response to simulated weightlessness
    and that remodeling cues persist when reexposed to normal gravity.

  text: A precise quantitative description of the ultrastructural characteristics
    underlying biological mechanisms is often key to their understanding. This is
    particularly true for dynamic extra- and intracellular filamentous assemblies,
    playing a role in cell motility, cell integrity, cytokinesis, tissue formation
    and maintenance. For example, genetic manipulation or modulation of actin regulatory
    proteins frequently manifests in changes of the morphology, dynamics, and ultrastructural
    architecture of actin filament-rich cell peripheral structures, such as lamellipodia
    or filopodia. However, the observed ultrastructural effects often remain subtle
    and require sufficiently large datasets for appropriate quantitative analysis.
    The acquisition of such large datasets has been enabled by recent advances in
    high-throughput cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) methods. This also necessitates
    the development of complementary approaches to maximize the extraction of relevant
    biological information. We have developed a computational toolbox for the semi-automatic
    quantification of segmented and vectorized fila- mentous networks from pre-processed
    cryo-electron tomograms, facilitating the analysis and cross-comparison of multiple
    experimental conditions. GUI-based components simplify the processing of data
    and allow users to obtain a large number of ultrastructural parameters describing
    filamentous assemblies. We demonstrate the feasibility of this workflow by analyzing
    cryo-ET data of untreated and chemically perturbed branched actin filament networks
    and that of parallel actin filament arrays. In principle, the computational toolbox
    presented here is applicable for data analysis comprising any type of filaments
    in regular (i.e. parallel) or random arrangement. We show that it can ease the
    identification of key differences between experimental groups and facilitate the
    in-depth analysis of ultrastructural data in a time-efficient manner.

  text: "The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a hydrated and complex three-dimensional
    network consisting of proteins, polysaccharides, and water. It provides structural
    scaffolding for the cells embedded within it and is essential in regulating numerous
    physiological processes, including cell migration and proliferation, wound healing,
    and stem cell fate. \r\nDespite extensive study, detailed structural knowledge
    of ECM components in physiologically relevant conditions is still rudimentary.
    This is due to methodological limitations in specimen preparation protocols which
    are incompatible with keeping large samples, such as the ECM, in their native
    state for subsequent imaging. Conventional electron microscopy (EM) techniques
    rely on fixation, dehydration, contrasting, and sectioning. This results in the
    alteration of a highly hydrated environment and the potential introduction of
    artifacts. Other structural biology techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance
    (NMR) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, allow high-resolution analysis of
    protein structures but only work on homogenous and purified samples, hence lacking
    contextual information. Currently, no approach exists for the ultrastructural
    and structural study of extracellular components under native conditions in a
    physiological, 3D environment. \r\nIn this thesis, I have developed a workflow
    that allows for the ultrastructural analysis of the ECM in near-native conditions
    at molecular resolution. The developments I introduced include implementing a
    novel specimen preparation workflow for cell-derived matrices (CDMs) to render
    them compatible with ion-beam milling and subsequent high-resolution cryo-electron
    tomography (ET). \r\nTo this end, I have established protocols to generate CDMs
    grown over several weeks on EM grids that are compatible with downstream cryo-EM
    sample preparation and imaging techniques. Characterization of these ECMs confirmed
    that they contain essential ECM components such as collagen I, collagen VI, and
    fibronectin I in high abundance and hence represent a bona fide biologically-relevant
    sample. I successfully optimized vitrification of these specimens by testing various
    vitrification techniques and cryoprotectants. \r\nIn order to obtain high-resolution
    molecular insights into the ultrastructure and organization of CDMs, I established
    cryo-focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIBSEM) on these challenging
    and complex specimens. I explored different approaches for the creation of thin
    cryo-lamellae by FIB milling and succeeded in optimizing the cryo-lift-out technique,
    resulting in high-quality lamellae of approximately 200 nm thickness. \r\nHigh-resolution
    Cryo-ET of these lamellae revealed for the first time the architecture of native
    CDM in the context of matrix-secreting cells. This allowed for the in situ visualization
    of fibrillar matrix proteins such as collagen, laying the foundation for future
    structural and ultrastructural characterization of these proteins in their near-native
    environment. \r\nIn summary, in this thesis, I present a novel workflow that combines
    state-of-the-art cryo-EM specimen preparation and imaging technologies to permit
    characterization of the ECM, an important tissue component in higher organisms.
    This innovative and highly versatile workflow will enable addressing far-reaching
    questions on ECM architecture, composition, and reciprocal ECM-cell interactions."

  text: The potential of energy filtering and direct electron detection for cryo-electron
    microscopy (cryo-EM) has been well documented. Here, we assess the performance
    of recently introduced hardware for cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and subtomogram
    averaging (STA), an increasingly popular structural determination method for complex
    3D specimens. We acquired cryo-ET datasets of EIAV virus-like particles (VLPs)
    on two contemporary cryo-EM systems equipped with different energy filters and
    direct electron detectors (DED), specifically a Krios G4, equipped with a cold
    field emission gun (CFEG), Thermo Fisher Scientific Selectris X energy filter,
    and a Falcon 4 DED; and a Krios G3i, with a Schottky field emission gun (XFEG),
    a Gatan Bioquantum energy filter, and a K3 DED. We performed constrained cross-correlation-based
    STA on equally sized datasets acquired on the respective systems. The resulting
    EIAV CA hexamer reconstructions show that both systems perform comparably in the
    4–6 Å resolution range based on Fourier-Shell correlation (FSC). In addition,
    by employing a recently introduced multiparticle refinement approach, we obtained
    a reconstruction of the EIAV CA hexamer at 2.9 Å. Our results demonstrate the
    potential of the new generation of energy filters and DEDs for STA, and the effects
    of using different processing pipelines on their STA outcomes.

  text: 'One hallmark of plant cells is their cell wall. They protect cells against
    the environment and high turgor and mediate morphogenesis through the dynamics
    of their mechanical and chemical properties. The walls are a complex polysaccharidic
    structure. Although their biochemical composition is well known, how the different
    components organize in the volume of the cell wall and interact with each other
    is not well understood and yet is key to the wall’s mechanical properties. To
    investigate the ultrastructure of the plant cell wall, we imaged the walls of
    onion (Allium cepa) bulbs in a near-native state via cryo-focused ion beam milling
    (cryo-FIB milling) and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). This allowed the high-resolution
    visualization of cellulose fibers in situ. We reveal the coexistence of dense
    fiber fields bathed in a reticulated matrix we termed “meshing,” which is more
    abundant at the inner surface of the cell wall. The fibers adopted a regular bimodal
    angular distribution at all depths in the cell wall and bundled according to their
    orientation, creating layers within the cell wall. Concomitantly, employing homogalacturonan
    (HG)-specific enzymatic digestion, we observed changes in the meshing, suggesting
    that it is—at least in part—composed of HG pectins. We propose the following model
    for the construction of the abaxial epidermal primary cell wall: the cell deposits
    successive layers of cellulose fibers at −45° and +45° relative to the cell’s
    long axis and secretes the surrounding HG-rich meshing proximal to the plasma
    membrane, which then migrates to more distal regions of the cell wall.'

  text: With more than 80 members worldwide, the Orthobunyavirus genus in the Peribunyaviridae
    family is a large genus of enveloped RNA viruses, many of which are emerging pathogens
    in humans and livestock. How orthobunyaviruses (OBVs) penetrate and infect mammalian
    host cells remains poorly characterized. Here, we investigated the entry mechanisms
    of the OBV Germiston (GERV). Viral particles were visualized by cryo-electron
    microscopy and appeared roughly spherical with an average diameter of 98 nm. Labeling
    of the virus with fluorescent dyes did not adversely affect its infectivity and
    allowed the monitoring of single particles in fixed and live cells. Using this
    approach, we found that endocytic internalization of bound viruses was asynchronous
    and occurred within 30-40 min. The virus entered Rab5a+ early endosomes and, subsequently,
    late endosomal vacuoles containing Rab7a but not LAMP-1. Infectious entry did
    not require proteolytic cleavage, and endosomal acidification was sufficient and
    necessary for viral fusion. Acid-activated penetration began 15-25 min after initiation
    of virus internalization and relied on maturation of early endosomes to late endosomes.
    The optimal pH for viral membrane fusion was slightly below 6.0, and penetration
    was hampered when the potassium influx was abolished. Overall, our study provides
    real-time visualization of GERV entry into host cells and demonstrates the importance
    of late endosomal maturation in facilitating OBV penetration.
