Function
Some hyperfusogenic isolates can induce membrane fusion in SLAM- and nectin-4-negative cells and are linked to fatal subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) or measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE). The neuropathogenicity is closely associated with enhanced propagation mediated by cell-to-cell fusion in the brain, which is principally regulated by hyperfusogenic mutations of the viral F protein. Cell-to-cell transmission of the virus also occurs with hyperfusogenic isolates.
