nonhuman transferrin receptor 1 is an efficient cell entry receptor for ocozocoautla de espinosa virus.ocozocoautla de espinosa virus (ocev) is a novel, uncultured arenavirus. we found that the ocev glycoprotein mediates entry into grivet and bat cells through transferrin receptor 1 (tfr1) binding but that ocev glycoprotein precursor (gpc)-pseudotyped retroviruses poorly entered 53 human cancer cell lines. interestingly, ocev and tacaribe virus could use bat, but not human, tfr1. replacing three human tfr1 amino acids with their bat ortholog counterparts transformed human tfr1 into an efficient o ...201324109228
ocozocoautla de espinosa virus and hemorrhagic fever, mexico.arenavirus rna was isolated from mexican deer mice (peromyscus mexicanus) captured near the site of a 1967 epidemic of hemorrhagic fever in southern mexico. analyses of nucleotide and amino acid sequence data indicated that the deer mice were infected with a novel tacaribe serocomplex virus (proposed name ocozocoautla de espinosa virus), which is phylogenetically closely related to tacaribe serocomplex viruses that cause hemorrhagic fever in humans in south america.201222377271
