ABSTRACT
The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the most common causes of acute infection of the lower respiratory tract among children. For viruses in the Paramyxoviridae subfamily, membrane fusion requires a specific interaction between two glycoproteins the fusion protein and attachment protein. Membrane fusion of the RSV appears to be unique among paramyxoviruses in that fusion is accomplished by the fusion protein alone without help from the attachment protein. Here, we review recent achievements and advances in the study of membrane fusion triggered by the RSV published in high-impact-factor journals. We also review and make a comparative analysis of the popular hypotheses regarding membrane fusion of the RSV. Finally, we discuss the "hot topics" in current research and controversial data published in recent years in the hope of providing references for Chinese researchers.
