Differential ligand binding to a human cytomegalovirus chemokine receptor determines cell type-specific motility.

Differential ligand binding to a human cytomegalovirus chemokine receptor determines cell type-specific motility.

While most chemokine receptors fail to cross the chemokine class boundary with respect to the ligands that they bind, the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-encoded chemokine receptor US28 binds multiple CC-chemokines and the CX(3)C-chemokine Fractalkine. US28 binding to CC-chemokines is both necessary an...
