•Most paramyxoviruses require attachment and fusion (F) proteins for cell entry.•Competing ‘clamp’ and ‘provocateur’ models have been proposed as entry mechanisms.•Attachment proteins contain receptor-binding (RBD) and stalk domains that activate F.•Attachment protein RBD and stalk domains interact,...
