Cholesterol modulates the fusogenic activity of a membranotropic domain of the FIV glycoprotein gp36

Lipid composition of viral envelopes is usually rich in sphingolipids and cholesterol (CHOL). These components have a stiffening effect on the membrane, thus enhancing the energetic barrier to be overcome for its fusion with the T-cell plasma membrane, a fundamental step of the infection process.
