TIM-family proteins promote infection of multiple enveloped viruses through virion-associated phosphatidylserine.

TIM-family proteins promote infection of multiple enveloped viruses through virion-associated phosphatidylserine.

Human T-cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin-domain containing proteins (TIM1, 3, and 4) specifically bind phosphatidylserine (PS). TIM1 has been proposed to serve as a cellular receptor for hepatitis A virus and Ebola virus and as an entry factor for dengue virus. Here we show that TIM1 promotes infection...
