This study determines the structure of vaccinia virus J5 protein and identifies key regions for EFC assembly and membrane fusion.

The paper determines the NMR structure of J5 protein and identifies functional residues critical for EFC integrity and membrane fusion in Vaccinia virus entry.

This study identifies critical residues in the Vaccinia virus G9 protein essential for EFC function and membrane fusion, revealing conserved structural motifs across poxviruses and Nucleocytoviricota.
