Divergent engagements between adeno-associated viruses with their cellular receptor AAVR

Multiple adeno-associated viruses (AAV) use the same receptor (AAVR), but the binding mode is not clear. Here, the authors determine the structures of the AAV1-AAVR and AAV5-AAVR complexes, identify residues necessary for virus entry and compare the receptor interfaces of different AAV capsids.
