Key result
Poliovirus receptor binding may cause conformational changes driving viral RNA uncoating beyond simple attachment.
Why the study?
The role of the poliovirus receptor in viral entry is unclear, with recent evidence suggesting it may induce conformational changes leading to viral RNA uncoating.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Receptor may actively drive uncoating beyond attachment; leaves open antiviral or vaccine implications.
The cell receptor for poliovirus may be more than a simple "snare' that attaches virus to cells. Recent results indicate that receptor binding may cause conformational changes in the virus that lead to uncoating of the viral RNA.

Vincent R. Racaniello (1996) studied this question. Poliovirus receptor binding may cause conformational changes in the virus that lead to the uncoating of viral RNA, indicating it functions as more than a simple attachment snare.
