Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

textThe entry of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) into host cells involves attachment of the virion to the host cell surface, through interaction of viral envelope proteins with host cell attachment factors, and fusion of the viral membrane with the host cell membrane. The G glycoprotein is the attachment protein that interacts with surface molecules of the host cells, enabling the RSV virions to bind to their target cells. While the F glycoprotein may facilitate attachment, its primary function is to promote fusion of the viral and host cell membranes. The SH protein is dispensable for entry. For review, please refer to Battles and McLellan 2019.

Using human primary airway epithelial cell cultures, it was established that RSV efficiently infects the airway epithelium from the luminal surface and specifically targets ciliated airway epithelial cells. In the absence of immune response, RSV causes no obvious cytopathology (Zhang et al. 2002).

In addition to ciliated respiratory epithelial cells, RSV may infect granulocytes and cause a delay in constitutive apoptosis of neutrophils and eosinophils (Lindemans et al. 2006). RSV can also infect neonatal-specific regulatory B cells, which may contribute to high viral load and disease severity in infants (Zhivaki et al. 2017).
