Proposed model of membrane fusion at CDV entry.
Step1. The homodimer dimers have stalk regions (colored orange) attached to fusion proteins. Each H protein dimers is bridged by disulfide bond (shown in red bar) at “neck” region. Step2. Binding of receptor (SLAM or Nectin-4) to the head domains. Steps 3 and 4. Receptor pulling causes the head domains to dissociate a dimer of homodimers and completely collapse to individual domains. Step5 and 6. Fusion proteins are allowed to access the membrane of target cells and complete fusion.
